45' Stainless Steel Great Dane Reefer


Recommended Posts

That is a great start, What did you use for the side ,and front of the trailer?

Thanks! For the sides I used corrugated styrene sheet for the ribbed area, and styrene sheet for the rails on top and bottom. I glued 2 ribs on the bottom rail and have started adding some rivets from Archer. For the front I used sheet styrene and some 3/4" acrylic tubing to make the rounded corners. I still have to add the ribs to the front of the trailer, as well as rivet detail.

I've wanted to build one of these myself. I was just going to section 2 ebay built-ups together that I bought, but I know it won't be easy to make it look right.   Yours is definitely looking  good. I can't wait to see how your finish comes out. I love the stainless reefers.

I made some good progress this morning. I built the landing gear and fuel tank, then I weathered the box. I still need to weather the landing gear and fuel tank, plus make spare tire carriers, add marker lights, and plumb the brakes.
