I've just received this model, purchased from DHS Diecast in Ohio.

These limited edition 1/50 resin models are quite expensive but they're also exceptionally well detailed and finished. I chose the green version simply because, to me, the least amount of chrome 'bling' enhances the realism.  In their day, these were work-horses, not fancy show trucks.

During the late '50s and early '60s, the B81 series were Mack's heaviest duty trucks, using the familiar B series cab but distinguishable by the hard front fenders and large diameter wheels/tires.
