I decided to go from 1/12th scale to 1/8th scale and kick it up a knotch . It is going to be another fun model to build. www.doncampbellmodels.com

Great to hear Don, is it going to be a standard 390D machine or one of the tougher 390DLME's?

PS, which blueprints are you building off Don? Because the American CAT website pdf for the 390DL actually uses the drawings for the 345DL. Most of the Asian country CAT websites use the correct drawings however...
