I got this Volvo I built some 4-5 Years ago.....It, totally needs a new trailer, and with the new Moebius offerings, this was a "no brainer".....So I got BUSY......

I stretched the chassis to accommodate some homemade tool boxes and, I used Italeri rims and tires I acquired from the old 48' Refer Trailer they had.....Not good for much else, so I indulged myself...After I cut about 3/16" off the inners, they slid right onto the axles like they were "made" to.....Even the inner wheel portions from the kit fit right onto the Italeri wheels....

Some of you may have noticed that this model is not orange..... :lol: Sorry about that.....

Anyway.....Here's more....

I'll have to do something about that nastiness on the inside portion of the boxes......But, that will be done at a later date......It didn't look right with just 2 boxes, so I built some more....

Lo, and behold....This is what it looks like, right now.....Gotta add the reflective tape and other decals, but the assembly portion is done.....

     JT,

          Nice job on this one ! If that is not orange? What color is it ? I know that some colors look very different when photographed.

Thanks, Boys.....I appreciate your comments.....Gator, that is Krylon's Banner Red....Not sure if it's the same color as the Volvo, but it's pretty close.....I've just finished this one up and am about to post it "Under Glass"....Thanks again, Boys....

            Okay,  I appreciate that info. I can't get that paint over here anyway. :-( But they do have some good colors  over here.
