Revell's Auto Transport Trailer: Finished

[David G.]

Hello Everybody!

It's been a long time coming but I'm finally posting the photos for the completed Revell Auto Transport Trailer! 

I started this build back in December of 2024 and completed it in March of 2025 with a little over fifty hours of build time. The reason I took so long to take the final photos was I wanted finish the Peterbilt 359 road tractor that I planned as a companion to the trailer. I wrapped that up at the end of May.

I did post a WIP thread for this kit. If you're interested, here's a link to that.

 

I'll be posting photos of the Peterbilt sometime in the near future.

Three views in one image: left, top oblique and right.

 

Some of the loading area detail.

 

Just a neat looking shot of the cargo area and ramps.

 

Here's the trailer coupled with its companion Peterbilt 359 road tractor.

 

Since there's so much space between the tractor and trailer I decided to make a pogo stick and connector lines.

 

And what's the reason that we want to build an auto transport trailer model?  Why, to load it with model cars, of course!

 

My traditional Display Case photo is actually a bookcase photo. This is the one place that I have to display this monster safely. I do have plans to dress things up a bit to make a more suitable display area.

 

As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post any comments or questions.

Well done, David!  I really like this view - could be the real trailer (in a really big studio!).

It looks fun too loading all the vehicles, great build indeed~

Thank you Brian. I've actually seen and been in such a studio. Back in the Nineties I contracted to have a promotional photo shoot done for a transportation company. We had two Dodge Maxi-Vans, two airport limos and 36px minibus all in the studio at the same time. It was pretty much a sound stage. A rather exciting experience.

Thank you kindly Steve. And yes, loading the cars is fun and just a little nerve-wracking.
