If you want to buy a new one, the Tyrone Malone's Kenworth Aerodyne 'Hide Out Truck' Transporter kit would fit the bill - just omit the race car hauler body. McLaren Models in Falkirk is a good place to buy AMT kits in the U.K., they have this kit on Page 8 of their AMT section for £39.99. Thanks, James. Yeah, I been thinking of getting that kit but I've been looking up builds and reviews of it and there's some parts that aren't in that version, like the fifth wheel and mud guards. I'll check out McLaren Models for sure, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get parts from the aftermarket, kit-bash or reclaim the parts from an old build that had met its demise in some way. One of the reasons I mentioned this kit was that you mentioned the idea of doing a grain truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to do a grain truck but haven't found anything here I can use for the bucket, and aftermarket parts for kits in the UK just doesn't exist. Can't even buy from the EU anymore without extortionate postage prices. I'll probably use a different kit to the aerodyne for a grain truck anyway. If I find a suitable trailer I might use the Mack Cruse Liner I have, but I think the chassis is a little short on that so will have to figure something out there.

One of the most fun builds I've done. I'm hoping to start another big rig build this week, either the Mack Cruiseliner or GMC Astro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difficulty I came across with this kit really was how the exhaust stack support bars went, the rest of the kit is a breeze. Good luck man, looking forward to seeing it.
