LINDBERG MILK TANKER

[MICHAEL COLE]

CAN THE LINDBERG TANK TRAILER BE UP-DATED TO A MORE UP TO DATE TRAILER? WHAT WILL I NEED TO DO IT,? IVE SEEN TRAILERS THAT LOOK ALOT LIKE THE ONE IN THE KIT.

Mike,

When you want to build something which is not box stock and requires a degree of modification to get the desired result. You have to consider if its more appropriate to scratch build the complete thing. The reason I say this is that the modifications to a particular kit may be considerable to get what you want. There may be just as much work in cutting and carving asd there would be in scratch building. The place to start is the prototype. Check manufacturers web sites, truckpaper.com or see if you can get some close up photo's. Maybe someone will let you run a tape measure over their trailer. Make sketches and plan. Check for such things as frame construction, suspension types (On a modern milk tanker this will more than likely be an air suspension as the tank may have a glass lining) and of course the shape of the tank itself. Once you have decided what you want to do then see if there are any kits available that would suit.

Best regards

Dave
