bitner Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks guys: These are the first logging trucks I've built after a twenty year hiatus from the hobby. These are the only ones I've completed so far with more in the future. I have about 12 other trucks I've finished including a Kenworth tractor drawn ariel ladder truck from the Seattle Fire Department circa 1970.

Old Albion Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Bill, Your work really is exceptional. I'm with Tim, my favourite is the Kenworth and the Western Star. Is the Kenworth the Revell kit. I have not built a logging truck yet, but this gives me lots of ideas. Thanks for sharing them with us. Best Wishes Dave Bates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitner Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) Hi Dave: You're right, it is the Revell/Germany kit. I added my own cast rear wheels to it and extended the frame 5 scale feet. Cheers: Bill Edited September 4, 2008 by bitner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
