Kit Form Services of Great Britain also has a photo etch Curtain Side buckle kit (PE87). https://www.kitformservices.com/photoetch.html

Trailer expected late 2019, early 2020. Maybe Revell and Italeri will announce some new truck and trailers in the near future.

Solartex film.

Wonderful.

Excellent rework! It's as if that was the original intent of the kit.

The idea behind an aluminum trailer verses steel construction is the tare weight. Aluminum, being lighter than steel, more of the gross weight is dedicated to the payload. An unladen aluminum trailer weighs less than a steel trailer. An aluminum trailer is robust enough to handle legal loads. Depending on the number of axles, I have seen 4 and 5 axle aluminum trailers with gross weights of 125,000 lbs. A tandem spread axle is 80,000 lbs.

I'm sure there are hundreds of custom truck bodies that 1960's Ford pick ups could be had with. That ice cream truck doesn't look too difficult to custom build.

Since this thread began, Moebius has offered two sets of Super Single tires for their International Prostar and Lonestar trucks and their Great Dane van trailers: Moebius is doing another run of all of their truck and trailer kits. Moebius has announced that they plan to offer a a new trailer kit at DAAM show according to this thread. I've heard it will available late 2019 or early 2020.

Why? Do you have a DOT permit?

I say because of that error, scrap the whole project!

Seems the process from concept to full product was a much more laborious process than it is now. A lot of hand work and error correcting. There is more reluctance to do make original subjects today than 50 years ago.

Moebius has been working on the Flatbed trailer for sometime. It is real.

Up to your high standards as usual.

I like.

That is truely big and bad!

Interesting project.

Great start.

I concur. Authenticity is paramount.

Wow! Incredible work! You would think with all of your ultra detailing, you would drill out the holes on the grille on the front facia. I know CTM offer a photo etch grille for the MP4. You should cut open and hindge the doors to display all of that wonderful detailing. Keep going!

Ambitious project.

Success!

Excellent work.
