20' Container trailer

[Chu]

I was planning to post all thee trailers but change my mind. This is a 1\32 esci semi trailer and a 1\24 italeri container box. I was looking on this page if there wasn't a 20'trailer and couldn't find it so I decided to work on this challenging ( for me) project. I'm not an expert on making a conversion like this one and I started build the container box first to measure the length of the container and then cutting the trailer chassis (cutting and sanding to erase the European stile) in two section, one in the neck and the other behind the landing gear to lengthened the trailer. I have a Fruehauf junkyard parts and wheels to built the suspension of the trailer then use I a trailmobile rear bumper to finish the trailer chassis. The decal was a mess the and one of the trailer are crappy. The mud flaps was made by me. Not perfect but turns great. thanks for watching.

Now, this looks good....Really good....I've always wanted on of these, but the price just seemed a little steep....You've done an awesome job to make this one look great....And you say that's a 1/32 scale chassis?? It looks pretty much in scale....Outstanding job....

Thanks J.T. I bought this 1\32 trailer container from ebay spain the price was $13.00 us dollars but the shipping it's a killer $30.00 dollars!!! Uhhh!!! and bougth two so do the math!!! Any way I wanted to make something diferen so I get them, I think it's better scratch built one in the future. Thanks for the kind words.
