Convoy Mack plastic Model Kit

Here is some model kit for the good old Mack-R RS700L truck based on Convoy film Mack truck. I don't know where to buy this as new but you may find some used at ebay. The Ertl Company is an American toy company In the late 1970s began to make the Model Kits.

1. The first one is Convoy Rubber Duck Mack Truck model kit made for Ertl Company all part are attachable this one is best.

For those that did not know:
"There were a total of 5 Mack's used to represent RD's truck throughout the Convoy movie. RS786LST and MACK RS700L trucks. The 1977 was the one most commonly seen in the movie, but there were 2 1972's used as well as a glider mock up and a cut-away used for close up scenes."

  1. your picture of the DM 600 model is incorrect for the RD truck. That kit is of a off set cab style Mack where RDs truck was a center cab style Mack truck. If you want a model that is close than go on Ebay and look for a R style Mack truck model. They are going for around 70.00 dollars
