I got these parts from an Australian 3d printer. They are an improvement over the stock Ertl Thermo King parts.

And possibly this.

Eventually this.

And then...

Next up!

I meant on the drivers side. The 3d part is corrected.

I have several 3d printed reefer parts that fit on the Ertl reefer from an Australian printer. The grille and side panels are open just like the actual unit. The dial panel is on the correct passenger side. Very intricate.

Prototypical 1990s reefer.

WHAT?

So was it ever finished?

Gee, i wish i would have said that.?

It seems Moebius is the only one offering new tool big rig subjects. They last totally new tractor was the Prostar. the last new trailer was the spear axle flatbed. AMT Round2 has offered a new Transtar and Ford with trash body. They have also reopped several Italeri kits. Even Italeri has been slow to offer Euro truck subjects. We'll see about the future.

Great kit. Never reissued.

You sure did put in the work.

Nice Super Dump.

Can you visually discern the difference between 1/25 and 1/24 scales?

Chassis Detail

Those HO scale truck models offer lots of possibilities.

Good one.

Same grille and surround.

If you wanted to, you could use the grille and surround from the AMT Ford 8000 kit. The W shares many parts with that model. Drill out the lights in the cabover and add the light bezels from the AMT kit. Use the grille from the kit. The battery box, air tank under the battery box and fuel tanks are common.
