BREKINA's Mack B 61

Just in case you are not paying close attention when you remove the truck from it's clear packaging, watch for the small plastic bag that contains the truck's two side mirrors. The little plastic bag is in here (see yellow arrows in picture below).

 

These are really sharp looking trucks. So far every vehicle I have from BREKINA is a wonderful example. With the exception of the Jeep universal cj5, what a bummer that was.

That slippery mirror pack is also in a lot of trucks from Classic Metal Works.

The Brekina B61 is a nice looking truck.

I agree, Brekina's Mack B61 is a fine rendering of a popular truck, right down to the iconic bulldog hood ornament.  

Recently had some fun with a Brekina Peterbilt 281 in a gas station scene, as well as a Toyota Celica under low light.  

Regards, Peter

Peter, I love the scene from Duel! Bravo!

Returning to model railroading after 40 years and taking unconscionable liberties with the SP&S, Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads in the '40s and '50s.
