tbill Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Thanks guys, I’ve built 3 of the trailers before, but have not built the rig kit before, I’m sure it’ll be standard italeri fare as far as frame/engine goes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one at a show, and maybe only one here. Should be a fun build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUSADER2 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 This will be a good build to follow, just a thought though, are the Ford and trailer the same scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t , but, I ‘think’ it’s going to be close enough to get away with it. The last 1/24 italeri rig I did I paired with AMT’s flatbed trailer, and it looks pretty good.

tbill Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Thanks all, been plugging away on this. In no particular order ( cause my pics always show up out of order) , got frame painted, cab/hood/sleeper in primer and interior bits of said parts are in a coat of mythical maroon, and the engine has a coat of color on it. Decided to make the engine slightly dirty on this one, not horrible, but some grime. Thanks for following along, should have a roller by the weekend I think.
