Hang in there, went thru that about 20 years ago and she threw out all my builds and unbuilt kits in the trash among other stuff

Good to see you picking this build up again.

Thank you

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.

Finished the trailer today and used another truck build for pics. Now back to finish the 4300.

Getting the trailer fabricated up, lots of detailing to do.

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.

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.
