BigBad Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) So, it's been a while since the last post, here is one I have finished not long ago. Freightliner FLC with some mild changes from the box, decals from Modeltruckin', photo etch parts like nameplates, flap weights, chicken lights and supports from KFS, drive tires from Auslowe, exhaust stand pipes from the Australian Western Star and sleeper from the FLD kit. The wheels of the Moebius trailer swtched to bigger Italeri rims and tires to better match the truck. most decals on the trailer also from Jerry Reeter. Spread axle with scratch built tool boxes, same flap weights as the freight. Color is Tamya pure white and Duplicolor Ford dark green.

kilrathy10 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Now, that's what I'm talking about.....Awesome work.....As I had suspected, the swap of the stock wheels to an Italeri set, did the job.....Outstanding work....I've got a Volvo planned for one of these trailers.....Looks great with the spead, too.....May have to think about that one for myself.....Awesome work on the tractor, too....That is beautiful.....Gotta do that with my FLC.....Again, beautiful work.....

vincen47 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I really like the aftermarket treatment. Nice job, and it looks good with the reefer. With this combo, the scale difference isn't an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigzndiesel Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 This is a beautiful build! Both the tractor and trailer are really outstanding pieces of work! I enjoyed looking at them from front to back!Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Wow, with the right background I would really have to look to make sure this wasn't a real truck & trailer.I also have to say this is one of the nicest builds I have ever seen of this kit. All the extras really made it "pop" ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
