Revell 1/32 Fruehauf Reefer

[Jim B]

Here is my completed Revell 1/32 Fruehauf Reefer trailer.

It is essentially box-stock with the exception of the 10-hole disks from the Monogram Fruehauf Tanker Trailer. The main color is Rust-oleum Semi Gloss White, and the wheels & rear doors are Rust-oleum Chrome. Reefer unit is Tamiya Gloss Pure White. Also, since The Polar Ice Company is located in Troy, MI, I put a Michigan plate from the Model Truckin’ Chemical Leaman decal sheet on the trailer.

Here it is being pulled by the Monogram Kenworth T600A I finished in 2008:

And here it is behind the Revell Ford LTLA9000 Aeromax my son built in 2012:

Riddle me this: why do the Revell-Monogram 1/32 trailers have a big ole’ kingpin while some of the tractors have fifth wheels with pins sticking out of them?

Great job mate, so glad to see these kits on the shelves again. Like your tractors too.

Thanks, Steve.  I have a couple more 1/32 tractors in the stash, so you never know!

Great looking rig Jim, funny I just looked at that trailer kit at HL the other day.

Thanks, Larry.

It's a good, little kit, and definitely worth it with the 40% off.
