Mack RD899 Roll Off Truck - By Chester Fesmire


Here's another look at Chester Fesmire's Mack RD899 model. The cab is a solid resin casting from Ralph Ratcliffe. Chester used the Boley roll off container and container frame on a cast metal chassis. The Mack RD800 kit from Ralph had fuel tanks, battery box and rear suspension included and the tires are Roco on Herpa rims. Some other extras are the exhaust stack guard/heat shield from Masterbilt Models, a brass bumper and headache rack and tag axle wheels from Dennis Aust. Also featured in Photo Gallery 339.
