thank you all for the kind words. I try to build close to what is in the box with small modifications. These are designed to bring hrs. of satisfaction and insight into the subject matter. I try not to deviate much from the way I have always built kits. I will never turn this great hobby or any model into a huge money pit or test of endurance. I think great results can be had right out of the box. This truck became a logger because I had the trailer, minus the wheels that were swapped with the western star. I have a few more builds to do and might do them on here. Sometimes I have trouble uploading and it just makes me want to pull pictures I have already posted. We shall see.
