G’day Doug, I had the same issues with my DM 800 kit and wasn’t happy with it when completed! So I stripped it,’centred’ the cab,made one piece front clip,stretched the chassis,added long range tanks,sleeper and now very happy with my Aussie r/train prime mover👍
Dex, Wow, Excellent suggestions. PS - Please subscribe if you haven't already so that you don't miss a thing! -Doug
I've been modeling for 30 years, always used simplegreen or purple power to remove chrome. I never knew household bleach would do the same job! Learn something new everyday!
KM, Yes, Fresh bleach will remove chrome but you'll have to use Easy Off (Yellow) to remove the glossy undercoat if needed! -Doug
Great build and review as always. The tips are extremely useful for new modelers and modelers returning to the hobby after a few years. Thank you
TE, Thanks man. That's what we're here for! -Doug
I built two DM-800 mixers about 32 years ago , I found many parts that were warped or not completely filled . It still made a nive model of this awesome truck
Jeff, Thanks for sharing! -Doug

Nice color scheme. Remember growing up, MPC kits were notorious for fit issues. I built very few that would sit on all 4 wheels. LOL!!

@@RightOnReplicas Already done! Hats off to you and your work.
Thanks Marko! -Doug
Doug, I knew eventually the Mack DM800 was going to make it on the channel being that you did the Mack DM600. I really enjoyed your version. I have already built two DM 800's and you aren't kidding about the warped parts and fit issues but I made it through all the frustration and it paid off in the end. I actually do plan on building the box version in future. I'd like to share with you my second DM800 that I did late 2019... Thanks for sharing Sir!

JG, Looks like you've had good success getting past the warpage issue. You demo looks good and the weathering is a great touch! -Doug
Thanks a lot Doug. Glad you enjoyed it! This particular DM800 will be a dump truck so I need to find it a donor dump body and components and then off to Phase 2.
JG, Good luck with your search and have fun building it! -Doug
nice model!
Evg, Thanks and please subscribe if you haven't already. Thanks! -Doug
I had the mack d 800 model in the late 70's and it was a construction site cement mixer
CK, That's a classic now, thanks! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
I greatly appreciate your thoroughness.
A question: with a red and white paint scheme, in applying decals (as your video presents in 3:31), would it be better to place red stripes over a white surface?
David, Thanks for watching, Could you repeat the question. -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas
, hi, Doug. Thank you so much for your prompt response.
To my question: with a red and white paint scheme, in applying decals (as your video presents in 3:31), would it be better to place red stripes over a white surface?
David, Yes, but this kit comes only with whites stripes. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
Looks very nice wondering if you have ever tried to air brush any kits sometimes spray paint or brush paint can get a bit thick ever thought about airbrushing?
BV, Thanks for the tip. PS - Please subscribe if you haven't already so that you don't miss a thing! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas been subscribed for almost a year now so good to see some one show good reviews on kits
BV, Hey man that's nice to hear, thanks! -Doug
I have the Mack DM 800 but it is the older ERTL version still new in the box. I am wondering if this version is warped as well?
RC, There's really no way to tell until you look at it because of differences in the operating parameters of the mold/machine at the time it was made. There are often more than one mold set too. PS - Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already so that you don't miss any more reviews! -Doug
What I would have done is glue the fenders on the cab and modified some mounts so it sit right. Thats the kit I was looking around for a long time.
JB, Thanks for the tip. These are re-released so you can get one reasonably priced now! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas It did turn out nice though considering the age of the kit I have two of the DM 600 trucks one I turned into the dump truck and the other is the normal on the road truck.
JB, You're having some fun then and running out of display space! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas Oh yes, I have so many models. I watch your videos and also hpi guys model workshop. I would like to start up my own channel and show off what I build.
JB, Go for it! -Doug
What is the red and blue paint you used for this kit? I plan on getting it to do it in this paint scheme.
Not, As I recall it was Testors Bright Red 1231 & Bright Blue 1210. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already, to help us continue our mission to inspire more modelers! -Doug
I have the cement mixer 400 pieces and the original 1975 one
OSG, That is great kit. PS - please subscribe if you haven't already! -Doug
The cab is all the way to the side.... is it s kit issue?
Wiz, There are some fit issues with the kit you'll have to watch for but some of it here is camera angle too. Thanks for the inquiry! - PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
I had problems with the frame being out of whack
Mike, It's not uncommon. It helps to build the frame on a flat surface with gridlines and slow setting glue to adjust it. You may also have to use the hot/cold bath to get it straight again! PS, please help us reach more modelers by subscribing if you haven't done so already. -Doug
60th anniversary paint scheme i believe

GL B, Thanks dude. What's the scoop on Autorama? -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas Never been? It happens downtown at cobo hall every year. Mainly a custom car show but there's also a model car competition and lots of vendors in the toy-arama that cater to the hobby. You should check it out!

GL B, Sounds like fun. I'll look into it! -Doug
i think MPC need to rework this kit to fix the issues before re release. This looks like a poor quality kit in the 70s, expecially the cab looks like its falling off the chassis. Nice job .
JC, These are really just repackaging of kits. The downside is - they really are the same kit with new decals. The upside is they're about one-third the price of the competition. -PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
