Happy Canada Day from south of the 49th Parallel, eh!

Thanks, Carl.

I have the AMT Lowboy trailer, but I haven't built it yet. I also have the AMT Flatbed trailer. I don't have a Fruehauf model number for the for the flatbed, but the Load King lowboy is a FB34D (I think), with a 75T capacity.

Nice work on the engine. Your work area looks quite relaxing.

No, Tamiya TS-69 Deck Brown is flat. The good new is if you hit it with a couple of coats of Tamiya TS-13 Clear it'll gloss right up. I like the planned change to the 3408.

Well, that's one way to put it! ?

Philippe, if I remember correctly, I glued angle stock along the upper & lower seams on the side walls to give the floor & roof something to mount to. I had no plans on opening the trailer up, so that really helped stiffen up the box. If you want another challenge, try the AMT tank trailer.

No problem. It happens.

Good luck with that!

Well, that would work. Round2 will reissue the wide nose & you can cast up the narrow nose. Win-win!

Merci!

Thanks, Keith.

Thanks, Håkan; but that's not what I was looking for. I am looking for the Fruehauf & Wilson model numbers, not the AMT model numbers. It's good information, though.

Yes, that table top does have the effect.

I started this kit back in March, and I put the finial details on it today. It's not perfect, but it's done. I did learn that painting the "Goodyear" on the tires is easier with a toothpick than a 10/0 brush. I had quite a bit of fit issues with the kit, but I muddled through & got it done. The sponsor decals are not included on the AMT decal sheet (although they probably should be), and they came from the Revell 1969 dodge Charger R/T kit; while the "AMT" decal came from the AMT 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air kit (I think). Now I need the AMT Ford LN8000 Race Car Hauler to put it on. ?

Well done, and nice tribute.

Nice looking van. Well done.

Does anyone know the Fruehauf & Wilson model numbers for these AMT trailers? Just for general curiosity. Thanks

Very nice! I didn't know they made 1/144 WWI aircraft.

Great looking Cruiseliner.

That looks amazing! You did a great job on this kit, and I really like the added details. Very well done.

Thanks, Al. I appreciate it.

Thanks, Don. Yes, the wingspan is about 3-1/2" (88.9mm), and the fuselage is about 3" (76.2mm).

Nice looking family of Fords.

So, it might not be pretty, but it's done. And it looks like a Thunderbolt. The fit was pretty bad, and the decals gave me a lot of trouble, but the kit is from 1997 so what can you really expect. I'm happy with the results, and I think it'll look ok on the shelf. Jim
