Freight liner FLC

[tbill]

 being stuck home and weather being cold and partly snowy has kept me at the bench a lot lately , having finished the TP build and the Aeromax, I needed a new project. After looking thru the stash, I settled on this. Color will possibly be something in the blue family,  but that could change, lol.

Awesome this will be fun to watch 

[tbill]

Making progress......

Nice project and the paint job looks spot on.

Nice blue color.

Thanks guys , found a trailer to pair with this .... will be custom colors and different wheels/tires

 

 

[Jim B]

I like the blue.  Very nice.

AMT Fruehauf tank trailer?  You're brave!

[tbill]

Brave indeed, tank halves were warped pretty bad, but what can ya do, it’s been in a box since 2000, lol. So things have been getting glued together and I’m making progress. Here are some pics in no particular order.

 

[DrKerry]

Looking good so far!! 

[tbill]

Holy warped trailer parts Batman! Frame rails were ( still are) pretty bad, rear fenders are complete junk, but I shall prevail......, I hope....

I put all the cross members in the frame,  did some twisting and swearing and now it sort of conforms to the tank body, so I’m hoping with some help from tape it’ll settle when I glue it  to the tank body. In the pics, that should be flat on the bench....., ya, not so much.

I also made new fenders, I think I’ll make matching ones for the front as well.

will probably have more to show tomorrow..........

 

[tbill]

Some progress, it’s a roller, tanks and battery boxes mounted and some mock up 

 

[gotnitro?]

Looking good Tom !  Gonna be a sweet build 

Dont look now folks..but hes starting to scratchbuild !!! 

[tbill]

Lol, I make some small stuff from time to time.  Been making progress , got a few more bits on the truck, and made some front fenders for the tanker .

Looks good Tom!! Good way to fix the warp like that is a tube of super glue and a brick!! Juss kiddin’!!!! Looks good though!!
