Tank finished, maybe a couple small details, but done. Next to build load straps from photo etched parts (3 on tank, 2 on pallet) and also build strap bars for the trailer to hold down load.
Thanks David, agree the crate would look more appropriate if it had labeling, just not sure how to do that. Any suggestions would be helpful. I may do an antique wash on the crate to give it a worn well used look.
Load for the trailer is coming together. All of the parts finally arrived and assembled. First coat of primer on, tomorrow will do some finish work and paint.
Doing some digging (https://www.renderhub.com/driverua/ford-h-series-hdt-950-semi-truck-sleeper-cab-1961)and found the year as a 1961. The kit you bought represents the truck really well.
Mounts made to put tank on trailer, got the pallet made for the installation parts for the tank. The railing for the top of the tank arrived but the ladder and safety cage did not. This will hold up installing the fill tube, as the railing and ladder must be installed first. The strap kits are here as well
Giving thought to a good load for display on the trailer. Think I will build a plastic pellet storage silo. Managed to find a “G” scale ladder and ladder safety cage on EBay. Will use PVC tubing for silo housing and look for a funnel to match diameter. The rest will be Evergreen. Photo example
