I wasn't tracking any cab that looked like the Mack NO either. I know the bed is different from the NO too. Just a better scratchbuild challenge.

Here's a nice reference sites for the Mack NO:
Bummer is that there are no cab nor bed shots.
Mack NO 7.5 t PM

Single 3/4 front view, color:


Aside from Azimut's $130 kit, Wespe Models now makes one too for about $75.


Here's a pretty cool site which shows a scratch built Mack NO using the Italeri's kit of the
M-925. The author used the kit's chassis, wheels, and axles and modified the cab and bed.

Scratch Built Military Model Trucks

As for some specs on her:
2053 were built. Of this only 14 were sent to Russia as part of the Lend Lease.
Net weight: 29,103
Payload: 15,350lbs. off highway, 20,897lbs. on highway, with towed load: >10,000lbs.
Maximum tow capacity: 35,000lbs.
Interestingly, one in every four was equipped with truck mount M32 or M36 for a .30cal or .50. This would make a model of this even more unique.

Thanks for the photos Ken. I can see from these that it would be a job to recreate an accurate reproduction from kit bashing and scratch. Do you think that the Wespe model kit is still available and if so who might have it in stock?

The only one I know of is:
The Panzer Shop - In Europe

John over at Mission Models can get it.

Thanks Ken

Hi,

Due to mail server problems, I've post copy of the article on my page (see links below)


pascal

Thanks Pascal. The file size was too large for my mail box. Thanks for uploading them to the www.

Pascal thank you for that. Did the article say how much to inlarge the scale plans to get true size? Sorry I don't know French but the pics are worth a 1000 words.

Well guys,what a response,thanks very much to all who took the time and trouble,much appreciated.Think I may go the resin kit way,no time to scratch such an involved project,or have the skills.Again a big thanks to all.......Dave

Hi,
Next time I make lighter files !!!!




In the original pages the drawings are 1/35 scale. Today I post some reference dimensions
to make conversion easyer (wheels, oveall length... ) and post them on my page.
I dont know if all the drawings are accurate, but the ADV kit is a copy of them.

Cheers
pascal

Hi Pascal

Would you have by any chance a similar reference article for the International M5-H6 truck
?
Thanks in advance (on ne sait jamais ...)
A la prochaine !

Frenchy

thanks mate that will make life easier

Mon Lieutenant,

In the early 60's Revell made a Long Tom kit with the Allison Chalmers tractor. I don't know iwhat has happened since to this kit. I sure would like to find an Allison tractor kit. It would be kind of original for Incoming.

If it moves salute it !! If it don't paint It..
