Ben Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 By "right", what do you mean specifically? By "right" I mean, correct in all dimensions, accurate in detail as well as the sides and roof being one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 53 foot trailer in 1/25th scale would be over 2 feet long! Could you imagine a 2 foot long box on the hobby store shelf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yeah, that's only three inches longer than an AMT Fruehauf flatbed box. There's plane and ship models with boxes bigger than that.

Dave Metzner Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yep It's going to be about a 26 inch long box! - trailer floor, roof and side walls are all designed as one piece parts....Trailer itself is about 25.44 inches long - plus refer unit on front wall...

martinfan5 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Dave- this may seem like a dumb question, but is there any thought of doing both the truck and trailer as a combo kit as well as selling them separate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Wait, even though it's misspelled, am I seeing "REEFER UNIT" in that post!?!? If I'm not seeing things, any idea yet if it will be a Carrier or Thermo King Unit?

Jim B Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Sounds like it's going to be a sweet trailer. And it can easily be made into a dry van if you want one. Will it have the Rig Skirts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Now THAT is great news! 1 piece parts... I was dreaming of that when building my Italeri dry van... Got that ugly seam down the sides. Thanks Moebius!!!!

martinfan5 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I like the one piece trailer parts, will make for a much nicer finish build, and less work . And to answer why to my question, well I know I am planning on getting both, so why not offer a combo kit for people that want to buy both. I am sure they could find a middle price for it.
