Fruehauf Trailer- Mcleans


Recommended Posts

Hi, Some build pics of the trailer, made from AMT parts for the frame & axles etc. the box was made from perspex & plastic card covered in thin aluminium pressed on a side panel from the 27ft trailer kit, the rivets then added with a dress makers pounce wheel & a compass pin, these ali panels are stuck on with double sided tape, washed & weathered then finished in satin clear, Mud flaps are thin rubber sheet, Also a picture of the decals i printed on white decal paper. Fleet numbers are on clear decal paper.

Amazing detail on that!  You say “thin aluminium pressed on a side panel from the 27ft trailer kit, the rivets then added with a dress makers pounce wheel & a compass” now that’s an inventive way of duplicating an improving upon a kit piece!  I’ll be trying that myself! Love your authentically weathered Mcleans tractor too, keep up the creativity!
