cummins engine

I was wondering what is the most modern cummins engine available in a kit?

Italeri should have had a N14 if they had done it right...this engine is not a N14, it's just their old NTC 400 that they changed some parts on from a water to air aftercooler to an air to air intercooler, otherwise it looks like an ordinary NTC.
So the Revell AG NTC 475 Twin Turbo is probably the most modern Cummins engine in a kit, AMT has a NHC 250, a NTA 370, and a NTC 350 but they are older than the Revell engines.
On the aftermarket you can get correct N14 and Signature Series ISX 600 resin engines, both available at Auslowe

Thanks for the information, I tried researching my self and would find when some debuted, but not if they were current.

A big problem, at least for US trucks is everything changed after 2007 due to new emissions laws. Pretty much every diesel engine manufacturer had to start over from scratch. I think the Moebius IH trucks are the only kits released since 2007 and they have IH engines.

Yes the Moebius IH Pro Star and Lone Star has the IH MaxxForce 15.

It's pretty much the same over here in Europe with the emission laws.
