These have finally started shipping. They are very nice highly detailed replicas. The winch trucks and the tractors with a wet kit even have a separate drive line that connects to a scale PTO. It looks like they all scale out to about a 172 inch wheelbase.

My only comment is that I wish the oversize load flags that are installed on some versions were removable like the previous trucks.

You can remove them easily but they will need to be glued back on from what I can tell.

Overall I'm very pleased with how they turned out.

I like the way the R Models turned out too. The only thing I do not like about them is that it appears that the plain colored ones will have winches on them with a similar configuration as the Fire Replica Resin R Models. I wished they left the solid colored trucks plain jane, no headache racks, winches or other accessories. Just a regular non heavy spec tractor, with dayton wheels with full, half or quarter fenders. I get why they are doing it so they have more trucks that can work with the cable neck trailers but I think the winches are best suited for the RD800s, B81s and the DM800s. Will still buy one though.

So far the closest one to a basic Mack R600 is the Rounds 1979 R Mack with spoke wheels. In reality though I believe that truck is a heavy duty RD686 with smaller wheels and tires to match the rest of his fleet.

Damigella will be close but it has a headache rack.
