The Mack F700 was produced between 1962 and 1981.
This model is in the colours of Rynart, the Dutch
haulage company.
Packaging
The model comes in a Tekno style box decorated in the
Middle East series. The packaging is high quality
with the model enclosed within black foam rubber.
There was no damage or missing parts on the review
model.
Mirrors and an aerial have to be fitted to the Mack.
A Certificate of Origin is included which is uniquely
numbered within the limited run of 275 models.
There is no information about the real truck.
Detail
The Mack chassis is very good. The transmission and
suspension parts appear to be metal, and the gearbox and
engine are a gold plated colour. There are
different tyres on the driven and steering axles, and
the metal spoked wheels are excellent.
The cab is very detailed with a Rynart sign, lights and
air horns on the roof. The chrome mirrors look
good and they have the bulldog mascot embossed on the
back. The chrome front grille is really good and the graphics are high quality and include a T.I.R. sign.
A high point of the detailing at the front is the tiny
gold plated Mack bulldog.
Behind the cab is a nice exhaust and air intake, and
there are coiled lines. At the back the lights
have plastic lenses.
The trailer is solidly made and heavy. It is a classic
style and underneath there is the old style of
landing legs.
The container is metal and is permanently fixed to the
trailer. It has a very nice ribbed structure, and
has detailed graphics at the front.
On the sides are large Rynart signs.
At the back of the container the locks are highlighted
with silver paint and there are many small graphics.
At the rear of the trailer there are more graphics
including some in Arabic.
Replica timbers in plastic are provided, and they allow
the trailer to be supported on the landing legs in a
level position.
Features
The Mack has a decent steering angle and it rolls well
enough.
It has a tilting cab which works well and it reveals a
detailed engine.
The trailer rolls well when connected to the tractor, or
can be posed on the support timbers.
The container is screwed to the trailer deck.
Quality
This model has a high metal content and is high quality.
The paintwork and graphics are of a very good standard.
Price
The model is fully priced for a model of this type.
Overall
It is nice to finally see a Mack F700 model and Tekno
has done a very good job with it. The high point
is the standard of detailing on the Mack.
Footnotes
The model appeared in mid 2018.
