carsntrucks4you Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) I'm working a Ford Transcontinental from KFS. I used a Italeri FH16 kit for the chassis. The wheels be changed. The main project in this case is the traler not the Transconti.The trailer is one of the kits that the Dutch model Truck Club (DMTC) had sold at the on the Road Show, Jabekke/Belgium. It represent a 2 axle style trailer from the 80's. It is a cnc milled kit where you have to add details like brakes, wheels & tires etc.. The kit includes a simple spring suspension design. I had change this with a trailer suspension kit together with some York brake drums and trailer axle kit from KFS. The load will be one of the 20ft trailer from Italeri. The wheels & tire combination will be some doubles. Edited December 22, 2018 by carsntrucks4you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigred63 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Ah, a blast from the past! I remember seeing these on the German Highways/Autobahns. Didn't the French have a French version of the Transcontinental? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
