These next 1/25 scale models were built by Chris Hall from Fergus, Ontario. Chris will usually find a truck he likes that belongs to an Ontario trucking company, and builds one of their units. |

Doug McKenzie started this model back in the early 80's, with an AIM F-Model Mack conversion kit - the F Model more so than the actual Clipper kit. The Mack grille was ground out with a Dremel tool and the pewter Hayes grille epoxied onto the opening. The paint is a GM truck colour from a rattle can purchased at Canadian Tire - all of the cosmetic work done to the cab was Doug's effort, Bare Metal Foil on the vents, Letra-Set lettering and the small Canadian flag came from a 1/144th Scale Canadian Pacific Air Lines decal sheet. The Smith Transport decals were sold by an outfit called Launch Pad Distributors out of Victoria, BC. The headlights came from an AMT Kenworth cab-over kit.
Doug's intention was to mount the cab on an AMT Kenworth chassis, use Freightliner fuel brackets with fuel tanks from the old Ertl Volvo N-10 kit with wheels and tires from an Ertl International kit. For a variey of reasons Doug let the cab sit unfinished until about 2 years ago when Chris coaxed him into parting with it so he could complete it. Pretty nice looking job. Smith operated owner-operators between Winnipeg, North Bay, Ottawa, Montreal and terminals in Atlantic Canada. This model was based on an actual Hayes leased to Smith and based down east but Doug wasn't interested in the two-colour paint scheme. The model was inspired by a T.Brad Dunkin photo taken in Dartmouth Nova Scotia. |

Chris just finished building the Atomic R-Model Mack. It is based on a real unit #313, that he took a picture of in 1986, at their yard in Oakville, Ontario. Chris has always loved their fleet.
Chris did a lot of custom building to the model to make it like the real truck. The frame was lengthened, and two-hold bud wheels were added. The little bunk was scratch built, as was the grill. Chris also put on the "famous" Atomic air-dam and he also the custom made dry transfer decals. Chris actually phoned Mack Canada to get the proper Atomic paint code. |
