I was looking at the WSI website and came across a picture of the Mack F700 Cab Over tractor they are going to produce during the 4th quarter of 2017. I very happy to hear this until I saw the picture. What a disappointment! A European version of a classic American truck. Here is what they are producing: zzzzzzz by Ken Wheeler, on Flickr"/> Here is what I was expecting (this is a 1/64th scale Top Shelf Mack): DSC01049 by Ken Wheeler, on Flickr"/> DSC01050 by Ken Wheeler, on Flickr"/>

Kcmtoys,
WSI is not adverse to producing several versions of a particular model, most likely they need some examples/photographs of American versions of the Mack F700 to produce an American version. Hopefully with a few examples and Chuck's assistance, an American version can be produces.

And a day cab would be cool. I think Butch makes a daycab kit, but I'm too old to start making kits again. I just wish there was enough demand for cabovers. I hang onto my Freightliners, Transtars, and Pete Coe. CAW
