Trailer looks awesome.Great lookin wheels and tires.Do you have a load planed for this one

With the R2 getting models in Walmart ,maybe we will see some investment in new tool subjects. This wish list of mine is not reissues but new ideas A buss,Greyhound,school bus,musicians tour bus Beverage trailer,i did scratch one but would still like a kit. For reissues i would be in for the haulaway trailer!

Just about to close this one up,some cab details and finish the wheels and tires.I like this kit but im leaving the fenders off.

Lookin good

The tires and wheels will be one of the last details ill finish Here is yet some more progress ,im happy so far how everything is going together Now for some engin work!

True Pat In the days when i had a real job i was a tool and die guy, %99 of shops back then you were responsible for all the hand type tools and this is some of the stuff from then. Comes in handy sometimes

Old and unemployed has its benefits !

Well,after looking at how the tilting front end works i decided to mount the radiator before priming. It looks like a lot rides on how straight and square the cab and front end sits rides on how square the radiator sits This is my attempt to get it in the chassis And some progress on the cab and engine

The bellydump trailer looks sweet!

Gonna make a great rig Will the military load be old school or modern top secret Model on!

The wood rails are Vallejo called woodgrain transparent i think # 70_828 over the rustoleum white primer Thanks for the comps guys?

I love some chrome but some things just dont ware it well. I have the chassis together and will shoot it with primer I think next ill tackle the motor. Heres a couple of pics

On yer Mark!

Heres one i liked because it had a band in the back Gonna try to get that one built

Ebay crime scene, Comes with an Italeri truck parts of some sorta a bonus!

Ok,being the son of a trucker i should know this, but can anyone helpa modeler out and explain/show me how a Loadcraft LS3-40-S is hooked up to the tractor. I am doing the AMT Etrl Lowboy trailer and was curious when i noticed no landing wheel/pads on the trailer then after a google image search i found a few similar trailers parked nose on the ground and wondered how the trailer is hooked to the truck.

Thanks guys Gonna leave it the color it is and put on some decals and call the dogs in. I should have researched my idea before doint the model!

super clean awsome rig

This is the first build of the year. Cab and frame Paint is Rust-oleum key lime,chrome foil the emblems,painted the Ford badge the rest in craft paints. Getting the motor in correctly was a bit of a challenge but otherwise went together well. Was going to go with a recycle nuke waste theme with the bright green with this until i found someone else has done that so no decals for the moment

Wow! Chrome fifth wheel,drive shaft,steering wheel,its a chromgasam! To the purple bath for them!

Heres the kit i will be using for this Not sure how this will go but ill wing it as i go along

Mack DM 600 Doing OOB

Count me in !

Thanks guys I would still like see a kit from R2 or Revell, or anyone for that mater.Would like to have more body detail,maybe some rivets or panel lines If i add up the material in this trailer its about $35 which i gladly would have given that or a littil more for a kit. But im happy with it as its a shelf sitter any how

Great looking build
