bismarck Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Been wanting to pick one of these re-issues up, but wanted some input from anybody who has built this kit. Any of the usual fit issues with the older molds? ect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The only issue I have with it is the log load. I tossed those pieces of plastic into the parts drawer and went out and got some actual wood for the load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q tip Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 picked up a second one. its a great kit, the extra parts they give you for the tractor makes it worth it alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 not too bad, had a few warped parts [tow bar sections--not sure what else to call it], and sanding/filing the inside of the main chassis that the bar goes thru is a must [was for me anyway]. it was my second build and I managed it ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ap40rocktruck Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 not too bad, had a few warped parts [tow bar sections--not sure what else to call it], and sanding/filing the inside of the main chassis that the bar goes thru is a must [was for me anyway]. it was my second build and I managed it ok Nice build. The "tow bar" is called the Reach, which by the way in this Peerless kit is severely under sized. the correct size for the reach would be 3/8" square. then the receiver tube in the trailer will need to be enlarged to accept the larger reach.

tbill Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 thank you for the kind comment on my build. I was told that the log trailer kit was originally designed to be smaller scale, I wonder if that's why it is like it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
