the Black one is the most surprising one of the 6 never seen this combo before on any of the Fire Replicas Mack Releases the Red and Yellow one is the worst of the 6 Color Combinations to me it could have been much worse i guess if they decided to go with a Red and Green one or a Green and red one yuck to those two combinations

I got mine today. I went for the all black and the orange on black. They look great in the pictures. Better jump on board quickly cause this is the best looking old Mack made I think. CAW

They are resin, with small metal parts.

Got mine ordered from our host. The Black on black was calling my name. The detail looks to be excellent. Hard to pass on this one

I ordered the Green one.. I remember these trucks as a kid in New Jersey ... All the years that I have been collecting, I have been waiting for this truck to be made.. I never thought it would be made..


It would be nice to have the specs. on the original truck..

Very cool!
I got my class A license many moons ago in one that looked like this and had a Trail King lowboy. Cool

all the photos show these trucks with a cone are they really going to come with a cone is the cone going to be separate or is it going to be attached because it is very interesting that this is the first time they decided to have a cone with a Truck they could have done it with the B81 or the Mack R if they wanted to

When they use a prototype for the picture and measurements, what they see is what you are going to get! As an example, the beacon light on top of the cab is time period correct, but why another one (late model)on top of the headache rack? There is only one fuel tank, (at 4-5 miles to a gal, that doesn't get you very far.) and the battery box is under the passenger door, instead of behind the fuel tank on the drivers side. So. I would say that the cones were on this truck when it was checked out. Just my opinion, but I love the model! Applause Angel

That’s very interesting Ken. That probably explains the rectangle airhorns, which would be much newer than the square fuel tank.

Very nice. I'd like to see it offered with an atlas aluminum rock body. Not sure if the r midel 6 wheeler dumps or not but I think a dump version of this truck would be great.

If Fire Replicas is going to continue doing Dump body's The Mack R Single Axle Dump Body's are epic no no's that is not how you do a Dump Body Fire Replicas should be using Dump Body's with Side Braces because that is how you do a Dump Body right

Chuck: I did forget, if I ever really knew. I have others that I bought when the Autocars came out. I don't think you were selling them at the time. Sorry. But I did sell you Overland Side Boom. and the EMD CAT D9G. I'll try to do better. CAW
