Cab is an old out of production resin kit. I scratch built the frame, and cab guard as well as some of the logging equipment. the fuel tanks are from a Peterbilt cabover kit and the rear Hendrickson suspension is from an AMT diamond Reo. Still have a long way to go.

Cheers:

Bill

Got most of the details added to the cab and hood. Also scratch built a new water tank for the back for the Rocky Mountain Brake system. Changed out the rear suspension for a heavier Mack unit since this will be an off highway log truck.

Cheers:

Bill

Made a little progress on the truck and trailer tonight. I added a few more details to the truck, and started to build the suspension system on the Page trailer. The plastic trailer reach will be replaced with a wooded one.
