Oldmopars Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 So, I started out to build a modern version of Elenore from The Great Smokey Roadblock movie. However as I got into it, it just was not going to be a good tribute. So, I built it as this truck instead. Mostly OBB, AMT FLC (Italeri) with Moebius 53 foot trailer. The trailer is all OBB except for the decals, they came from an Italeri traier kit. The truck is also mostly OBB, with Aluminum exhaust stacks, real rubber mud flaps, dechromed fuel tanks and AMT tail lights. AMT/Italeri trucks don't need much to make look good. Truck paint is Dupli-color Dark Garnet Red Pearl (Chrysler) with Dupli-color Pewter Metalic (GM) frame. The trailer is also Pewter Metalic. As this truck is an FLC from the 1980's, I buit it as a well taken care of, but used truck. Light weathering on the engine shows its age as well as a slightly weathered frame. 1

Very good looking rig - looks like it is parked ouside a small trucker's cafe down in the south west (sceneries from the movie "Duel" come to my mind...beware of rattlesnakes!)
kilrathy10 Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Ohhh!! That looks so good... Amazing how those Italeri decals work on that Moebius... Such a nice job... That FLC looks great pulling it... Just beautiful.... All I can say is, "Thank you, Moebius"... These trailers make everything we have look awesome, now... You can't even tell it's a 1/25 scale trailer on a 1/24 scale truck... Those color choices flow very well, together...Just looks AMAZING!!! Excellent work, Man... And I agree... Great photography...

Oldmopars Posted June 30, 2021 Author Posted June 30, 2021 Thank you everyone, both the AMT/Italeri truck and the Moebius trailer built up with no issues. Both are quality kits and can be made to look great with very little skill or effort. I highly recommend both kits. I only made minor changes to suit my tastes, otherwise they are box stock kits.
