Thanks guys, again, I’m not super crazy over the difference in size as much as how things look. As with the pics posted, it looks plausible, not like the rig has a 1/16 trailer behind or, a 1/32 trailer behind it. Thanks for all the input so far, and the more pics the better

Can I add this trailer to my build? Not sure how it’s going to look, but, it’s gonna be hooked to the truck regardless, lol.

Wow, that color combo is striking, love it! Looking great!

That is pretty sinister looking

About 3 feet long....

This is looking terrific, well done so far!

Looking fantastic! Chassis looks phenomenal!

Got some work done on the chassis, and grabbed some rally wheels out of another nova kit, as the ones in the kit just weren’t doing it for me. Had to mock it up to see how it looked, lol. Need to detail the wheels and tires still.

Thanks guys. Should make some progress tonight . Ya, paint booth is fantastic, I couldn’t build without it, I love it.

Thanks guys, I know they will work, was hoping to see some photos to get some perspective, if that makes sense.

Kind of an odd question, but, as most of the’ NorthAmerican’ trailer choices out there are AMT , and as would happen, most of what I have ‘in stock’, does anyone have pics of AMT trailers behind Italeri conventional rigs? I’d mix and match some of the builds I have, but due to the way they are displayed currently, it’d take me a week to test out how they’d look. So, I was wondering if you folks had some pics of Italeri rigs with AMT trailers handy. I’m leaning towards a revell car hauler behind the western Star, ( I know, not AMT), but was also thinking maybe the AMT flatbed, or extendable trailer ( I know ERTL), so anyway, post some pics if you would

Lot of black parts on this one....will need a few more coats for complete coverage.

Oh man! This is gonna be another great one to watch come together!

Lol, he’ll be mad as a hatter this year with all the ‘stock’ builds I’m going to bring......hahahaha.....

They are a bit of a loose fit, I’m sure after walking around the room a bit, it’ll shift some. The roof of the gold one is off kilter as I left the entire top of that one loose so I can remove it to see the interior, so that is always moving around on me.

After doing the ‘copo’ version of this kit, I decided to do a yenko version. Currently have almost everything in primer, the body I painted about a month ago. Once all the other bits are painted, it should come together rather quickly.

Looking good! Built one of these not too long ago, nice kit.

In other topics about elcamino conversions, some folks have just grafted the headlamp area onto the body, then added to or removed material to the hood sides to fit. Not sure if this helps out or not, but I too have several ideas for elco conversions.

Welcome aboard Ronnie! Glad you signed up, lots of good stuff here, and the people are great. Make sure and post some pics of your builds in the ‘under glass’ section, I know these guys will love them.

I bet you change the whole kit, hahaha.... look forward to this build

Now that the prostar and trailer are off the bench, I’m itching to start this one....

I like the dump version

This is going to be good!

Trailer is done, and mated to the truck. Pretty happy with how it all turned out. I used Double Take Replicas wheels on the trailer, home made logo and made a spare tire carrier for it and used service lines from AITM. Thanks for looking.

It’s done. Added a spare tire carrier and used line o tape for the safety stripe, I love how it’s actually reflective. As usual, thanks for looking, and I’ll post more pics in an under glass topic.
