Athearn has announced their first batch of Mack B model truck tractors mated to their upgraded 40' trailer. The tractors are fully painted and decorated in authentic paint schemes from the 1950s-1960s. The paint and pad printing on the samples we've seen is, as we've come to expect, just about perfect! The 40' trailers have been upgraded with new suspension assemblies and spoke wheels with rubber tires. Check for them soon at your favorite retailer specializing in 1/87 scale vehicles.
