AMT flatbed build

[rronning84]

My KW needed a companion and I found this cheap on ebay so I scooped it up. Sorry there are no build pics but I lost my camera for a couple days while I built it. For future reference what is a good paint to replicate wood decking.

I think I am going to replace the wheels with white 2 hole budd wheels.

The combo looks wonderful together.

Ya they compliment each other real nice. Its no lowboy but its not bad.

Nice work there. As for decking paint, I used a light tan and misted gray together, and then rubbed some black chalk into it. It gives a weathered look. You might have to experiment, but unless its a show truck, it gonna look used and abused. maybe some gouges in the wood ? Once I get my C-900 flatbed combo done I'll post some pics.

Nice clean build. The AMT Fruehauf flatbed is a nice kit.

Like the build , I see you have the truck (tractor) with a license plate but, no trailer plate but, I'm sure you have paper work. nice job.

LOL. I ran out of the license plates. I need to find more.

Ryan,

Here are some sites that you can download actual plates from. All you need to do is resize them.

Thanks a ton. That is awesome.

Glad to help. I've "downloaded" a bunch of plates as well. All I need is to get some BMF decal paper, and print them up.

Do you have to resize them.

Great links, Jim! I finally can put a correct WV license plate on my big trucks! By the way, Ryan, you probably will have to resize them, but not sure because I didn't download any, YET!

[Jim B]

Yes, you'll have to resize them. The ones I've downloaed are about 3.25" high x 6.5" wide. I resized them to about .19" high x .4" wide (approximately 6" x 12" in 1/25 scale).

OK thanks again for all the help.

[Jim B]

Anytime.
