dptydawg Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 This is a recently completed project. The RofG auto rack was an unpainted but well built glue bomb that I acquired several ears ago. The tractor in an AMT LNT8000 kit. The only mods to the trailer was to improve the rear axles and add break drums. Also modified the hydraulic plumbing. The tractor was repowered with a Cummins out of the Autocar dump truck. I built the head rack to carry another vehicle. It is not easy to paint this trailer after it is built. lots of corners that an airbrush won't reach This model allows me to display up to 7 model vehicles in a small area. I still have to do some tractor to trailer plumbing and to install tie downs once i decide on the cargo to display Thanks for loooing Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Nicely done. "The car salesman with no fixed address" is a bit of a concern, though. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastheniker Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Carl, this is a really nice rig in an unusual but attractive colour combination. The rack on top of the tractor gives your model a very special and interesting appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
