That goes double for me....Not sure how this one slipped by....Great job on this one, John....Hope you're doing ok....Haven't seen anything from you in a while.....Awesome job....I don't do 1/32 scalers very often, but there are some pretty cool offerings out there....This is one of the coolest I've seen.... -

Ford Race Car Hauler
kilrathy10 replied to landman's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Stripes look pretty good....Just gotta hit them corners with a little thinner to get rid of that excess paint and you got it.....Very nice.... -
And now....On with the assembly....Everything went as the other one, as far as putting a box, together....The good thing, here, is that it doesn't matter which side you use for the left or the right....As long as the heavily riveted portions are to the front....There IS a top and bottom for the sides in that other model....Not so on this one.... Now, I did have some trouble with the top of the LH side as it caved in on me when I picked it up for inspection....I ended up drilling a hole and shoving a stick to force the side back into its proper location and regluing it.....I'll fix the hole, later....

Assembly has finally started.....I can't say enough good things about the quality of Moebius's models.....I, literally, opened the packages that the sides, top, and bottom came in and started assembling.....No REAL cleanup was necessary....This is exactly what they looked like out of the box....I did have to cut the front and rear from some sprue, but no big whoop, there..... It even comes with a little strap and new latching mechanism....And, now with the door option....I can't wait to see what I can scratch build with the other one....I probably won't use the strap provided....A piece of tape or something will work better, for that... Only a few things different than the original issue....This is one of them.....You have to cut out the notches for the new reinforcement railings.....

Those are pretty sweet looking, Charles....I really like that Dodge you got mixed in there....Great job.... -
Figured I'd do a thread on this one..... Pretty cool setup as the original, but with a few omissions and extras..... Let's start with the omissions.... Very little decal options....(That's it) And the plusses..... You get a choice of rear door options.....(I really like that, as I can use whichever one I don't use to scratch build a trailer or two) Front and rear doors are no longer plated.....(I found this to be a bit on the overkill side with the other one) Box art is beautiful with that orange..... The only thing I think that would have made this kit better is the addition of some trailer skirts...... I'll get to building sometime, this week.....
