There is no denying that the Mack RD800 series is a large and imposing design which has been
authentically captured, starting with the chassis where each of the axles has been fitted with small
springs to allow suspension oscillation. The front axle has working steering, achieving a good range of
movement with the drive train detailing visible on the underside. The front of the model has an oversized
load sign with the distinctive Mack hood ornament present and an inset grill design complimented with
a textured inner radiator grill. The bonnet design is hinged along the centre line and both sides can be
lifted to reveal the engine bay in all its glory which is a great
feature of the model with nothing left to the imagination.

The cabin exterior is adorned with small features to add
realism to the model. As we look at the roof, there are various
lights, chromed air horns and an amber beacon with
chromed side mirrors (with a set of spares in the box),
window surrounds and screen wipers. The cabin has doors
on each side that open wide enough to
allow the nicely finished interior to be
seen, complete with the printed dials on
the dashboard and the contoured seats.

This configuration of the RD800 is fitted
with a winch behind the cabin. There is a
protective frame covering the rear
window made up from a photo-etch mesh
with flexible rope fitted to the winch
drum.
