Does anyone know who makes/sells the old “B-60 SERIES” MACK TRUCKS in HO scale?
Alloy Forms and Sheepscot. Try the Walthers catalog, or do a search on their website for “HO vehicles, keyword MACK”.

QUESTION:
Who knows a manufactor, in 1/87, makes a model of the conventional 3-axle MACK tractor that was used as “RUBBERDUCK” truck in the movie CONVOY ??
The tanktrailer isn´t a problem but the truck, I never find this type !!!
You mean that R model Mack? Or was it the Suicide cab mack? or was it a U model with the offset cab or was it the super liner mack?
I am going to have to dig that movie out and watch it again. Ive 16 years on the big road and have forgotten all about “Convoy”
A good R model mack would suit me well. Although Diamond Reo’s (Rio?) did a good job on my off-road milk hauling days.
The Model R mack truck (tractor) was offered by Walthers in the mid-1990s, except as a solid core resin kit. It was not very well detailed and kinda rough looking (IMO), plus you had to futz around with the windshield/windows to make them look transparent (well, shiny).
Edit: Well, I do see it in the 2004 catalog, (933-4011). It’s open core nowadays (all windows open, and basic interior provided), so get your Krystal-Kleer out - not sure how well detailed the body is (hard to tell from the catalog picture). Note that this truck is NOT listed on the Walthers Website
