Thanks guys. she has a 3408 cat in her. 13 spd, w a 3 spd aux. its on a w900 chassis stretched to a scale 288" the reefer is a 48' ataleri w a ton of mods. left it 12' 6" hi and the 48' due to legnth of tractor, but it now has an air ride spread w full single fenders , daul reefer tanks, tool boxes between spread,detailed TK unit, totaly revamped/fabbed a new ICC bar/ tail lites, added bumpers and lite guards, (copied from my 1:1 great dane i use daily).. moved landing gear fwd, and shortened legs, and made new kingpin plate also. roof is painted alum color.

Really nice clean build.

[Scott S]

Thanks much guys. i'm very happy with how it turned out being my first forray into resin and major scratch building.. Kostas, thanks, the landing gear, tank and king pin placement are measured dirrectly off of of 1 of the Great danes i pull daily, i think it gives the truck a more "correct" look, for what thats worth..lol and a note, the stacks are perfectly straight...i dont know why in 2 of the pics they look tweaked, think its the angle i took pic's..

they are not..

Thanks Scott

If anybody ever want accurate pic's or measurements of 53' 102"/ 13' 6" great dane reefers w carrier units, just ask, we run 50 of um daily.

I'm not much of a truck modeler (the last one I remember building was the AMT "Movin' On" TV show model for my brother, so that dates me) but I love your build. I really like the vintage trucks, and yours is stunning. Superb job!

I am humbled by your comments, Thank you
