kilrathy10 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Well, here it is on it's new tractor....I built the T-600 a while back and had another trailer on it, but when the new smooth side trailer came out, I knew it needed a new one.....As many have mentioned, it does look a lot like a Schneider truck, so I think that's what I will go with.....Gotta get with Jerry, really, really soon.....I haven't added the Great Dane logos to the corners, yet, I know, but I couldn't find any green paint....Go figure.....I'll get to them ,soon enough, though.....I hope you guys like it....

kilrathy10 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Oh, and in case you were wondering.....This is what it looks like behind my Volvo.....I may consider doing one like this on my next attempt.....
Petetrucker07 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Too cool man. This combo looks great. I like how you switched out the kit wheels out on the truck. This is a good lookin combo. Well done man. Both look great
kilrathy10 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Hey, thanks, Clayton.....I tell you what.....Moebius is making these AMT models look a whole lot better....You've completely sold me on those, Man....I think I need about another dozen sets.....If I can acquire enough of them, I may not use AMT wheels and tires ever again.....Well, that is except for the ones in that Freightliner kit.....I wish they'd do what Moebius is doing with those....Anyway...Thanks again, Buddy....
thejunkman Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Looks great. I have been eyeing this build for a while. I need that T600 kit to replicate another one of our trucks on the farm. What kit is that?
Jim B Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Great looking combinations. I like it with both the T600 & VN780. Very "orange fleet" looking.
Pavel A. Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 JT, I think this is very good work. Simply, normal, daily worker. Respect.
tbill Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 JT, another home run buddy! Both are great looking combo's. After some thought, I have come to realize that you are smarter than the average bear.......going with your signature color lets you swap trailers and trucks at any given moment, and they always look like a terrific pair! Well done man, well done!
Petetrucker07 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Looks great. I have been eyeing this build for a while. I need that T600 kit to replicate another one of our trucks on the farm. What kit is that? AMT Kenworth T600 or you can use the Cane version. It's out of production, has been for awhile. You can ahold of one fairly easy, a bit pricey for 1/25.

Yep, I agree about Moebius makin their rims in 24s. That would be really cool. I think the only AMT wheels I'll use anymore are the FL COE and the CA Hauler. The other kits benefit very much with the Moebius set. I need a couple dozen more. I won't ever use Revell wheels and tires anymore. I really like how your Volvo came out, I really need to get a couple. I think I'll use a few of the AMT and Revell rims and tires in my truck shop dio I'm gonna be startin soon.

Mopar - D Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 JT awesome looking trailer and rigs hauling it. I'm looking forward to seeing it in August.
Brinx Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Looks really good JT...(as always), love the orange! great looking rig all around.
slusher Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Great combo JT, love the side skirts. Real nice work as always...
guitarsam326 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Nice! There's something about the T600's, there so ugly they look good!
kilrathy10 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Thanks a lot, Boys....I appreciate every comment..... I'm really impressed with the way it looks behind the Volvo, though.....Seeing as it is a mixed scale pairing.....I'm glad you guys agree.... You guys are a great group of modelers, and I love to post stuff, here.....This forum continually encourages and challenges one to do better each and every go round.....Love all Y'all.....

kilrathy10 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Ooops....Missed one.... Edited April 30, 2015 by kilrathy10
kilrathy10 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Looks great. I have been eyeing this build for a while. I need that T600 kit to replicate another one of our trucks on the farm. What kit is that?This is, in fact, the AMT kit, Jon, but I probably need to point out that this one has been lengthened an inch and the rear suspension is from the snap Revell W900 kit.....Definitely, a booger to convert, but well worth it in the end......
Jim B Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Nice! There's something about the T600's, there so ugly they look good! Says the guy with the Two-Story Falcon as his avatar! Just pulling your leg. I like both of them, too.

Thanks, I kinda figured that. I am not going to jump on anything now but I will put this in the back of my mind for later. I probably won't do any suspension conversion, but I would have to do some modding into a flat top sleeper. More on topic. I like this trailer, I wish there were better selections of trailers to start with for different industries, but I suppose there is little demand for them.
towman1271 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Total perfection as always! You sure know how to knock out
gatorincebu Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 JT, Well bro ya did it again. Another great looking combo! I need to get to building something I am feeling like I am on the roadside watching ya'll go bye. Be Well Gator
guitarsam326 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) HAAAA HAAAAA! something about those ugly trucks speak to me!!! I don't mind the ribbin at all, this world need a little more humor! Great looking combo JT!!!! Edited May 2, 2015 by guitarsam326
