hello list

i'm new to the messageboard but have followed the site for quite a while now - i'm based in UK and kitbash and scratchbuild trucks and plant/machinery in 1:87, as well as collecting european police cars in 1:87 too

i've searched the message boards for a while looking for the answer but cannot find anything - so can anyone tell me where i can find a resin cab for the mack mc/mr series trucks? i'm sure i've seen one someplace,
thought it was RMM in germany but cannot seem to get an answer to my e-mails to them?

any help would be much appreciated

best regards
andy park

Andy,

it looks like RMM offers one: www.1-87vehicles.org/photo152/mack_mc_rescue_fdny.php

Alternatively you could try MFÖ at www.mfoe.de who released an MR: www.mfoe.de/besnr10.htm. I heard that they are willing to sell the cabs only, if you don't need the (rather pricey) rest. They are also a bit nicer to deal with than RMM.

The Puget Sound Mack MR is probably very hard to find these days.

Another idea would be fmb-unicorn. They did way more models than their online-shop lists. They have a huge list of american prototypes very similar to Puget sound. They did some upgraded castings on Matchbox and other, but I don't know if all of these were officially offered. It could be they did some of their models just for the fun of it. And since there are some die-cast mr/mc`s it could be they did some casztings. Have a try at: www.fmb-unicorn.de/
