I've been waiting for this one! My Dad drove two different Cruisliners, back in the '80's and I want to build both of them. Thanks for taking the time for the review!
Sure could use a build video on this kit, I am struggling with the trunion set up and the front engine mount and my interior pan doesn't seem to be going all the way in, but not really sure. Anyways, love the channel!!
Flash forward two years to 2019. My huge box came today from Auto World, Mack Cruise-Liner and 3 other kits and some AMT slicks. See how you are influencing me! lol
I'm working on this kit now.. turning out to be a frustrating build. Instruction guide to vague on where and how some parts fit. Had to modify Sterling gear box , and rear axles to short. Had to modify them also. Air brakes are guess work. Lol. Is as far as I got so far.
Greeting Chirs, i just got this mack yesterday and I'm ready toget started...have u posted building this mack yet? like watching u build because if i run into a problem u always get me through! well thanks for another great video. God bless...👍
Oh I intend to....enjoying my White Freightliner in Consolidated Freightways colours at the moment.... Thinking of doing this girl working for the Schlitz brewery, if....I can find any photos of one! 😄😂
Damn, damn, damn! Another kit to drool over! Does anyone know if Round2 have the Ertl truck kits in their vault? I'm talking about the line of International Harvester trucks they put out before they merged with AMT.
superb Review, I have this Kit and a lot of other ones, from Amt . This Kits are not for a beginner, some of the Kits even have no number of the Parts , some fit very good together, some are have so much flash, special the Peterbilt Wrecker needs lot of clean up , but when they are build look awesome . Tyres are not so good.
i don't know you get it in the US, but there are Tyre Sets from Italeri, so you can Change them , and also from Moebius Models, If the Kit is in production, you can order Sparparts from Revell, For the Unimog , other Trucks, Fire Engines you can order the Tyres and swap them, , or other parts for any Kit this is great for scratch builders.Another tip, fill the Tyres with some foam to give more stability, because over time they flatten out.
True. But, I shared this info mainly because the DM600 kit has a different engine and transmission than the Cruiseliner and R-685. It's comes equipped with an engine inner-cooler and a twin-stick, 5+4 transmission setup.

Thanks for watching Chris!
To hell with those decals, I’m thinking PigPen from Convoy 😃
I bought this kit a couple weeks back, can't wait to start on it. Would love to see a full build review of this from you mate.

These old 1/25 tractors will be frustrating, they are most certainly for modelers with a good amount of experience.
I'm a 10 year old and made the full cab making axel and engine now
Great kit review, I got a couple of these kits when they were reissued a while back and I'll get a few more to add to the stash.
Thanks Joe!
That and superliner was my favorite trucks and I've drove 30 + years I remember the ads in over drive magazine
I saw this today at my local hobby shop and almost bought it! Oh, yes, I'm a trucker and we do like our chrome SHINY!
Go back and grab it!
How would you go about doing the dashboard I would like to know and 😝 and maybe see it and I near video just how you would finish it thanks👍🏻
Great review as always, and this looks like a great kit!
Thanks!
I love your videos! Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Ohhh man ! That kit looks yummy. =)
Should I order this or the Mack DM600?
I wonder if you could turn that into the truck “pig pen” or “love machine” drove in the movie convoy
You could make it close.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

Good question, I think they have an email contact on their website, maybe they could answer.
i have a problem about the cab there is a plastic tab on the front which is a pain to cut.
Oooooohh its been a while since you uploaded how you doing, also as usual love the kit review!
Thanks, all is well. Laptop died two weeks ago, took Dell that long to fix it under warranty.
Oh well good thing you got it fixed!
was a top tip of urs to spray some dull coat on the chrome parts..thanks
Glad it works for you!
Nice looking kit!😉👍
Thanks!

Model trucks coming back with them doing the comeback kids from the 70s😎 I would like to know model guy🤓🐝
Dose it have the cab top marker light holes
I am currently building the R685 which does have them so I'm pretty sure this kit would too.
Do a built on a Mack cab over so we can see how it goes together got one need help
Did you ever build this?
Damn these model companies with all their fantastic releases !! Lol great review mate
It's revenge for releasing your chrome pen upon the world.
hpiguys Workshop Damn those chrome pens !!!
Didn't even know (Mack) in real-life made a cabover semi interesting .Im getting new Ford C-Series Cocoa Cola stakebed kit next month.
Thank you!

This kit shares the same engine and driveline as the R-685 kit.
Good info!
wit it being a mack it makes sense
True. But, I shared this info mainly because the DM600 kit has a different engine and transmission than the Cruiseliner and R-685. It's comes equipped with an engine inner-cooler and a twin-stick, 5+4 transmission setup.
Nice kit review👌👍
Thanks!
I don't see many of the real cabover semi trux n service here n the USA anymore like I use to back n the day.
