stray cat here, where can i get reefer units for 1/25 box trailers? I have the trailers and i would like to put reefer units on them as they go together, for that 1960-70 look.i believe that two different kinds were made a thermo king and a transicold(used on later models) any help would be appreciated. thanks, straycat.

I am guessing your talking about the AMT trailers. For a 60's,70's look find the older trailer kits Like the one with the ieglue,iggelue(rats SP)hose made of snow and ice with the frozen man (watkins i believe)that would be good. You may be rite there was one more. can't remember to much.one of the units had a over hang about 45* the other did not.

For the other it looked just like a box no over hang, maybe 4 doors/barn-doors (maybe). I'm having to go by memory here. your making me think about things I haven't seen in all most 30 years. we got a few yard around here and i look and see. let me look in my box and see what i have. I got some trailer parts a few months a go and one of these units was in there. were to get them don't know.you may have to run some photos down and make your own.

For the 85,86,89 too 95,98 look try the Italeri 48'reefer.
