    Even though most on this thread would think that the construction/heavy equipment/heavy truck niche of the modelling industry/hobby is small, there are a large number of us, and just because a ton of car modelers or military modelers say something wouldnt sell, or that theres no need for it, doesnt mean that there are people, like myself, that long for some equipment kits! there are so many things and reasons to want them like loads, loading, dioramas, and photos for trucks. just because you or a few arent interested in dump trucks because theyre "boring" doesnt mean that we dont need more dumptrucks! gonna go ahead and agree with Ben here on this one!! why must there be an arguement over what will sell and wont sell anyway when its not even produced? im sure the model manufacturers would cross that bridge when they got to it, if they did. but dont worry about it! i personally would love the equipment and such, ive seen enough 32 fords and mustangs already!

    ok, so i added my custom/homemade styrene stacks wrapped in chrome duct tape i got from automotive section st the hardware store. also was playing aroun d with some light ideas, but am going to put on amber colored lights instead of red.

    only flaw is the roof where i had airbrush pressure too high and blew paint out of a couple spots and never filled back in.

    its a "look alike" truck of a 379. bigger fuel tanks are on the real truck so i used kw fuel tanks on the pete to look the same

    AMT 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle. paint is a custom mixed metallic blue by me. airbrushed on. wet sanded the paint then cleared it. pictures are after wet sanding, only a couple flaws but it will be fixed soon.

    great ideas for trailers, cool to see so many people with all different ideas, then some the same with so many different outcomes! will be real cool to see the sliding suspension! i did some dry fitting on my walls and roof, everything lines up perfectly, maybe you did something wrong? maybe theres something wrong with you kit?. i did notice though, that the front panel is a bugger and super tight to go in, i did it third so then i had a wall left and works easy that way just a little tight, roof i will try soon, then i have to finish painting everything.
  12. bodygaurd
    havent gotten that far yet i still need to finish painting the walls ands roof then i can assemble it. ill post what i figure out to be easy and hard and trant about it when im finished lol
  13. bodygaurd
    thanks! Ive got another one on the way soon to build the same as this. thanks! Ill have some more pics up hopefully next week sometime!
  14. bodygaurd
    The walls i fit dry befor paint and cut a bit off some parts so theyllfit better. But after paint it will be a different story. At least its a lot better than amt trailer i did lol. thanks! I might make some side skirts for this one, dont know yet.

    A T660 would be awesome! looking good! and can you get a pic of how the passenger side fuel tank mounts for me if you can? the instructions dont show it very well, and i cant figure it out.
  16. bodygaurd
    this looking good so far, look forward to seeing more of your progress!

    I got this kenworth t600a to build a rig for my dad, i have a bit of progress done like frame, engine and some cab and sleeper assembled. heres some pics of what i have now. hopefully get the cab done sanding and get the paint on it and all other things need painted so i will have some more to do on it. a couple of these pics are of the frame attached to the moebius trailer frame. they will go together anyway when both are done.
  18. bodygaurd
    finally got back on here to add some pics, that is if theyre still on my phone, anyway im pretty far along with the trailer, and its going awesome, and will fit together great too. these first couple pics are under the frame and landing gear. these three pics show the undercarriage assembly. the next one is the assembles undercarriage and main frame and lkanding gear being painted. next two are priming the sides of the van this last one is of the finished frame on its own wheels on my t600a frame. t600a will be posted in new thread soon.

    wow! love this rig, gotta find me a volvo sometime!
  20. bodygaurd
    in my opinion i would say yes with little modifications. Maybe some other people would say no. But its basically the same platform. A 53 foot reefer same as this trailer imo
  21. bodygaurd
    started last night and this thing is awesome! got the undercarriage together mostly and no problems so far, a couple parts were misnumberd i believe unless i read them wrong but it isnt a problem. going together really good so far. pics to come!
  22. bodygaurd
    Wow! Crazy how decals can make this look a lot better than without them! Sweet truck!
  23. bodygaurd
    Looks really good! Makes me want to finish my lowbot even more now!
  24. bodygaurd
    thanks! Still a work in progress. I made the lift axle out of a peterbilt front axle. Chains are hard at first but get easier as i go making them.

    these are some pics im using to build my amt kenworth t600a and moebius 53' trailer. wont be this exact truck in pics just needed the logos and stripes. it wont be an exact replica of the truck in the pics but will be what it will be.
