Freuhauf dump trailer

[guitarsam326]

I usually finish one model before starting another, but here lately its been easier to give up on one for a bit. I started this trailer in hopes of finishing it for a show in 2 weeks.....yeah right lol. Anyways, it will be going behind the paystar, and the first pic is just a built up i have for use as a mock up, I'm starting with a fresh kit.

Thats exactly what that truck needs. Cool project.

What show in two weeks??

   Brian ,

            The truck looks great. And the gravel trailer is a good choice for a trailer .  With the wet kit installed it could also pull a lowboy .

 

 

 

      Be Well

Its hard to tell from the pics (mainly because I'm no photographer) but shes got a fresh coat of primer and just came out of the dehydrator, so tomorrow I'll throw on some color.

Thanks guys! 

Brian, the glad hand are some i got from Jamie a while back. The electrical connector, i dont remember....maybe plaskit but i had to modify it due to air pockets on the flange

Nice work Sam and the added details look great!

[extmcdriver]

Great detail, takes lots of patience.

Good start, great pics. I'm starting a 2 axle frameless w/ aluminum wheels. I'll follow this one closely

[Mopar - D]

Sam nice work on your dump trailer I like your details. 

[Superpeterbilt]

That chassis is very crisp and clean Sam. I can tell how much work you have done, because I know all too well how heavy the mold seams are, and how tapered the rails and crossmembers are. The gladhands look great.

[guitarsam326]

Thanks guys!

Terry, that dump bed is ridiculous as far as mold seams and fit. I'll never understand why they didnt make it a one piece deal....

looking good, this is going to look terrific with the paystar.

Ok, need some input. Ive seen streaking like this on trailers before, but i think i went overboard, but this is the effect i want only not as heavy....
