Lindberg Flat Bed Trailer

[Brizio]

I start this trailer, it is out of the Lindberg kit with the Dodge L-700.

A lot of confusion is going on between the instructions and the parts on the threes... Not very good fitting too... With a lot of work I was able to put together the rear axles.

You are off to a good start. That kit while being kinda simple ,can be frustrating .Ill fitting parts ans unclear instructions.

 

 

   Be Well

Here the update, I put together the flat bed and glue on it the rear axles. Nothing fit very well, and looks all twisted...

Larry, if I knew how it was  I was not going to buy a different kit. 

 

After some research on internet I couldn't find if this trailer is a copy of a real one. So  I modified the rear bumper and added the side rails. Also I added some kind of brake lines.

 

The inner part of the tires need a lot, I mean a lot of trimming to make fit the inner and outer wheels with the center wheels.

 Here a test fitting.

I'm not using all the trailer, only a piece, and I'm putting some load on it. Oil barrel... I calculated that I need 96 of them...

Here the first...

 

Few more, still far away from the 96 goal...

Looking good . I think you need some Hazard stickers for the barrels.

Thank you Andy!  I though about the hazard decals, but cannot find so many...  I think I will add a sign holder on the side of the trailer.
