Wasn’t sure where this build was going but after some thought and accumulated parts. Well a newer style log truck is the build…….so far. The red Kenworth is the neighbors truck and is the inspiration. They run the single wide tires all the way around, air lift axles everywhere. I got a bunch of reference pictures and measurements. The beds are 26 ft long. got the beds roughed out. getting to work on the trailer.

What transmission are you going to use on your W990 behind the MX13? I heard the one that comes with the MX13 is a European unit, not used in the states.
-
Ordered a MX 13 engine from A&N, yes it is 1:24 scale, but I am going to see if it will fit……..or I just spent some money on nothing.

Making some progress on the trailer. Using a new height gage to get all the axles set correctly so I don’t have one wheel hanging in the air when I finish.

Pulled this one back on the bench while I am waiting on parts for two other builds. Nothing special, just a box build with a couple upgrades.

My cab and hood have arrived. I will be using the short hood, removing the air filter cans and remounting to the cab, removing turn signals, removing grill and building a more detailed grill. Bumper and interior are up in the air at this point. Quality is good, thickness is about .010 to .020 thicker than AMT, but very nice finish. Karl does a good job building these.

Weather is cold and raining so I am able to get some bench time. Cleaned up the bench and selected a trailer to build and started assembling. Must of bought this one a long time ago, plastic wrap turned yellow and it sold for 25 bucks.

Look’s really good, I have a couple kits sitting boxes that I have just not started on. I hear it’s a good kit.

Thanks Jeff, got a lot more detailing as I work on this build. Bench time gets harder as the weather gets better.

Nice builds, well done

Interested to see where this build goes, I like the idea of updating the older trucks.

Progress with fuel tanks

Good start, will be watching👍

Thanks, we will see how it turns out. My builds are very fluid and subject to changes as I build as I am on my third set of fuel tanks on this one.
