I think the standard AMT wheels would workwell for the trailer. But then I am more into the look than being totally correct. But I say try it. It just might work. be Well Gator

Jesus, i like the idea for the container trailer. I used to work for a construction company that had several 10x10 and 15x 15 cantainers used for storage on job sites. They were just a bit smalled all the way around than a regular container box if you had cut it down. For your graintrailer. I think I would add a support in the middle for the tarp. Cool projects. be Well Gator

No I understand what you meant. It is like doing all the plumbing like you do is just not for me! I applaud anyone that can do it and make it look realistic. So i have to say I am enjoying your build threads and still learning a lot from you and the others here in the Forum. be Well Gator

Sounds like my kind of work truck! be Well Gator

I really like the use of real concrete! be Well Gator

Some nice work going on here.Well beyond my comfort zone. but I will be watching this one for sure. be Well Gator

Chuck, I like the idea of a really old truck having been updated a bit over the years. A flatbed used in a truck salvage yard??? Be Well Gator

You are off to a good start. I agree spokes all the way around! For wheels and tires AITM is a good place to go. OR plaskit has some nice ones as well. If you want an old truck with newer wheels KJ has nice two hole wheels and some nice tires.And he also has some nice grab handles for the dump box as well. be Well Gator

Jeff, I like what you have going on here. KFS is still in business and it is not hard to oprder from Him. But I bought a couple of the metal front axles from gary Wallace when I went to the Fulton show back in November. But I do not have his contact info. There is however another problem with assmbling the frame. The cross memebers do not have true 90Angles on the ends. You need to sand them square very carefully. This angle is due to helping the parts out of the mold. Personally I would heat the frame rails and then lay them on the becnh and put weights on them to hold then straight. And let them cool. That process has worked for me in the past. I also put all the cross members in hold the rails together with rubber bands and then use Tenax or or solvent to weld the frame. Don't give up man, hang in there. Be Well Gator

I agree with JT. Looking real good here! Be Well Gator

KJ, The trailer looks real good. I like the super's. I am also growing to like the idea of the fairings. An off shoot of the fuel economy is the idea that the fairing's make people more aware they are next to a trailer. And I think they look better than the underun bars I have seen here and in pictures of truck in Europe.. Be Well Gator

JT, looking real good there Bro! I like it . You are really knocking out these models. And doing a nice jb on them as well. be Well Gator

JT, That trailer is looking good. The tractor looks great. keep it up bro. Be Well Gator

One thing you are not. Is a novice model builder! the landoll trailer would be the more difficult of the trailers to build, imho.. I really like your weathering skills. be Well Gator

Ken, Once again I'm impressed by your skill level. This is going to be another great looking model. be Well Gator

Tom, it looks like you are moving right along on this. I like what I see you doing here. Be Well Gator

Clayton, I am liking what you have going on here. As for the color. I think the Chrome Yellow would work? be Well Gator

Angelo, That looks real good! You did a nice job on adding the lift axle. Be Well Gator

That is looking the part. I really like the exhaust pipes! They look very good. be Well Gator

Well it is Looooonnnnngggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And a real good lookin hooker! lol you did a real fine job on stretching this one out and adding the bling to it. Be Well Gator

Ken, You have my attention on this build! be Well Gator

Alain, I like it!! be Well Gator

JT, You are doing some really nice work here! i really like what I see. be Well Gator
