The Kenworth L925 cabiis one of Dan's Model Kenworth kit. I got it a few years ago and I never though to build it because I didn't had an idea how to build it.  This one is the worst kit that I had got from Dan's Model it seems that the mold had saw better days. There where some big resin chunks in areas were the mold seems to be damaged. I had to remove the spare post on the driver side step. It was replaced by a square plastic profile. Also the bottom of the radiator was a big chunk of resein. I think I have to rebuild the bottom section of the radiator. The hood had a big dent. I assume that the material is so thin had it could hold it strait. Here I added a brass profile on the inside of the hood to get it strait. There is still dent, but that will be remove with some putty.

I had start working on the Peerless Logger. What a piece of ........

I can remember this kit from the 70's when I had build the first one of it. The reach is too small, lots of flashes to remove. Yes it is an old Matchbox/amt kit. I should have know it better. I hope the the current release doesn't have this flashes.

The water tank is ready, right of the printer.

I made a second smaller water tank. I think I would use the smaller one.

I had modified the reach according to muleskinner's tutorial with Evergreen square profile #255/#256. It looks much more realistic than before

I will use an engine from Dans Model. Like the cab a lot of work  but worth the money because it seems to be a supercharged Cummins NHRS-6.

Michael, looks like this build is going to require a lot of patience and time. But I'm sure that the finished item will certainly be one to be admired!...
Looking forward to seeing it completed.

I had started weather the frame next will be hood and cab. A wethered truck needs a diorama. I found some pictures in the web were log trailers were loaded or unloade on log truck.
This is a DIY log Trailer Loader made out of wood. I think I have to redue the height of the crane a bit.
