White Freightliner SD/Beverage Trailer
Spruslayer replied to Spruslayer's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
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 -

SD White Freightliner
Spruslayer replied to Spruslayer's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
TY Rick This truck must be living a charmed life.It fell of the 40" high table to the carpeted basement floor and only suffered one broken part and two parts came off. Thats what lead to the brass pin that is now the cab hinge Still have to paint the chrome parts and decide on the wheel color -
