Ack! Ack-ack! Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 My first big rig in this forum, built 10 or 15 years ago from kits that were even older. The tractor was sold as a Matchbox-AMT kit, the Great Dane Reefer Trailer was still a genuine Ertl product. Though my skills have hopefully improved in the meantime I think the result is not too poor to be shown. I hope you like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpeterbilt Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 What a nice clean combo. I like the color scheme, and that trailer looks amazing. I dont think Ive ever built an Ertl van trailer. Is that alclad, or is the kit chromed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike77 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Outstanding work! If your skills have improved since you built that combo then you're in a league of your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ack! Ack-ack! Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 I am very glad about the resonse for my model, thanks a lot!Especially the Ertl trailer was a pleasure to build. Hopefully there will be a Round 2 re-release. What a nice clean combo. I like the color scheme, and that trailer looks amazing. I dont think Ive ever built an Ertl van trailer. Is that alclad, or is the kit chromed?The front panel and the rear doors were chrome parts of the trailer kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ack! Ack-ack! Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Back at the workbench after all those lazy holidays I hope to spend more time modeling in 2016. Thanks again for all your compliments!When I was young an experienced modeler once told me that white/light blue, white/light grey and white/yellow looks good on any truck model. I think he was right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
