KJ790 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I can't believe how quickly I finished this one! This is an awesome kit with tons of detail. I made a few modifications to make it more my liking however. I shaved 2' off of the length (well, 2 scale feet) and scratch-built the rear doors and tail lights. I moved the glad-hands/electric plug to the center of the trailer, I scratch-built a Carrier reefer unit, and I added 5-hole steel wheels.

KJ790 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Great looking trailer, KJ. What are you going to hook it to? Thanks! I think my next project will be a Peterbilt 379. I'm not sure if this will sit behind it or if I will make a different trailer for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Wow that is nice. I have to agree with the others for that looking real ! The Steel wheel Five holes really make this one stand out. I wish kit manufactures would get on the ball and offer those in kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
