Chuck Most Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 The model was finished about a year ago, with an AITM resin cab set onto a frame that was a hodge-podge of spares from a couple Transtar and Paystar kits. The plan then was to do up a matching trailer and then load it down with a junked-out old highway tractor or straight truck. Recently I dug out a glue-bomb AMT lowboy that was missing the deck and tie-down cleats, so I repainted it, redid the deck, and lettered it to match the truck. As with the other Loadcraft trailer I have the plan is to eventually make some working tie-downs for the sides. I went with diamond plate for the deck- in real life you'd want to add more cross-braces to the frame of the trailer to do that, but I just added this over the existing crossmembers.

gatorincebu Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Chuck, You really did a nice job on this one. The truck looks to be well worn . The trailer like it had been refurbished . Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
