  1. Then the price will go down when they reissue it. Just as the 1/16th scale Pete prices will fall when it is reissued. Italeri will reissue it faster than Moebius will offfer it.
  2. I wonder how she would feel if you hooked that trailer to a Bulldiog.
  3. The photos on the internet were photos that I posted a year ago on this board as a suggestion of what I thought could be a fully optioned trailer kit request. To be clear, that photo is a heavily optioned Great Dane reefer trailer. The proposed kit is a very common subject seen virtually every in North America as fleet equipment. I think it is a more apprporiate subject as an intial release, espeically in conjuction with the Prostar. Both are much more common rigs than the Lonestar. The green stainless steel, spread axle reefer you are referring to could be a future release, since modifications to the proposed kit would be minimal. And if you are set on the chrome look, Alcald 2 is always available.
  4. Do you think a brand new kit of a Cascadia will be any cheaper?
  5. I'm confused. It has been mentioned several times for a kit of a Volvo VN 780. That kit has been offeedr by Italeri for years. Revell of Germany has re-boxed it as well. IMHO, despite being a curbside kit, it is still a nice kit. Maybe you meant a Volvo VT 800? I doubt Italeri would Issue a kit just for that out of production truck. May be an aftermarket supplier could make the hood conversion for a VN modification. What would be more practical would be a Freightliner Cascadia. A very modern common subject in both OO and fleet form.
  6. Thanks for being patience with us. Looks to be a completely modern trailer. For all those that want everything on this kit, I am willing to wait for stainless reefer on the next round of releases if their are any.
  7. You have got to keep up Ben! http://www.modelcars...ic=36849&st=340
  8. Thanks. First class first step nonetheless!
  9. No, thank you for posting! Dave, so does it have a sliding tandem carriage, opening doors with detailed interior and detailed engine on the Thermo King SB unit? To those that are unaware, disc wheels are available from aftermarket suppliers.
  10. Interesting results. My only concern is that if a new North American model is issued by Italeri, it must be accurate, otherwise it won't sell well.
  11. Great work. What type of "Doll House hinges" are they?
  12. How about a Prevost Car X3-45s.
  13. P&P Resin Works has the Torsion Bar, Plaskit has the Walking Beam.
  14. Will it be a Super Seal or Classic? Will it have curb side doors or roll up doors? Will the doors open? Will it simulate polished Stainless or Aluminum sides? Spread axle, sliding tandem or Tridem? Carrier or Thermo King? Steel disc wheels or Aluminum? Helps me out a little Dave.
  15. A 53 foot trailer in 1/25th scale would be over 2 feet long! Could you imagine a 2 foot long box on the hobby store shelf!
  16. By "right", what do you mean specifically?
  17. Is there as much enthusiasm for the Prostar and trailer as there was for the Lonestar?
  18. Tower says, "Moebius 1/25 Great Dane 53' Trailer" not Reefer Trailer. So I'm sure Tom iMetzner is correct.
