Psychographic Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) While I was building the Twilight Zone Silhouette, I thought I should check to make sure it fits. Sure enough with the big wheels and tires along with a wider track, it didnt come close to fitting. Oh heck no! The trailer was always my favorite part of this kit, how could I have a Silhouette with no trailer? Out came the saws and Evergreen. Originally I had to widen, add to the height and stretch the trailer to get the car to fit. How can I add all that and still keep the glass? A little planning and it just barely fit, but it fit and the glass is unmolested. Luckily I found a smaller set of front wheels and tires, they also had a better offset to boot, This allows Twilight Zone to fit much better. It looks like the stretch might not be needed now. Here's how TZ fits in her trailer. Edited February 2, 2012 by Psychographic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychographic Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Using the stock single wheel and tire, not gonna happen! Might as well go big, about a 1/2" stretch and some big tandems. Now it looks like something.

Psychographic Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I turned a 4 piece body into 46 pieces! For the most part the mock up is done and the trailer is back to 4 pieces. I'm still not sure if I want to fill the emblems that were on the side of the trailer, I'll wait till I have some wheels and tires under it to decide.

Fabrux Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 You're going to need an awfully powerful truck to tow that beastie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 You can actually make a truck out of the trailer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
