19nova72 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I need help in locating a resin reproduction of a 3408 Cat engine. Does anybody out there know of any resin casters that have done this engine. I'm trying to build a model of my Dads Transtar II from the 70's and need a Cat powerplant. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgewatertek Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 per bob griffen, you can get the 3408 from the Revell KW W900 kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airhorn Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I don't know of any casters but the 1/25 Revell Germany kit (RVL-7549) Australian KW that I built had a Cat 3408 in it. Problem is that you would have to buy the kit to get the engine but the kits are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19nova72 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 hey, is that you rod? if it is, you need to post your latest build. we would like to see it. Yep its me. At the moment I'm not building. I crushed the end of my middle finger ( left hand ). Docs got me on some serious painkillers and they make me feel wacky. Thanks to the other responders I really appreciate the info and will be staying in touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trucker3216 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) The engine used in the louisville shorthauler is almost the same as 3408, with a little mod, it will work. I have one built and painted pm if interested or check ebay. Edited January 31, 2008 by trucker3216 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
