Parts list:

Mack R685ST

Auslowe:
Tandem log jinker

Mack R sun visior
Dual air filter with Mack R conversion kit
Mack R bull bar
Mack round step fuel tank

I think I have every think together to start with the build

Here the first picture of this build. The Mack 6 spoke rims WD31 from Auslowe are too wide for this truck. I have to get some out of the Ertl/amt Mack DM/R Series or get some from AITM.

Comparing the log trailer from Auslowe with the Peerless from amt I have to say that the one from Auslowe is far better than the old Peerless. amt should redo the molds of it.

I think that they were wrong labeled. The 1/24 rims are labeled with WD34 and the 1/25 version is WD31. I assume that label on my rims are wrong. I had checked with and diameter and they fits excellent to one of the Italeri trucks. Now I have some rims for a Italeri Mack Superliner.
