Jim B Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Here's my version of the "White Line Fever" Red River Shipping trailer. I know that there are some differences between the AMT kit & the trailer used in the movie, but I'll live with them. The Red River Shipping decals are from JBot; while the Fruehauf, "Wide Right Turn", data plates, & license plates are from the AMT decal sheet. The Nevada plate is from the "Bixby Livestock" decal sheet that I picked up from Model Express a couple of yeas ago. I posed it with a couple of different tractors just to see how it looked. I kind of like it with the 359 Although the Astro does look good, too. The W900 is one I built back in 1986, and it shows! Maybe I'll rebuild it if I can ever find those decals again.

Jim B Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks, Mike. I am hoping to make a Blur Mule eventually. I have the decals from JBot, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Very nice! I'm thinking the Astro is my favorite rig with it, too. I will say this- I'd advise against rebuilding the W900. It's part of your modeling history! What I'd do is buy the W900 reissue, find a set of those details, and build the new kit as an improved version of the old one. Then display them side by side, to compare the progress you've made over years of building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks, Chuck. That's a good idea for the W900. I already have three in the stash, but I can always use another one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoneguy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Jim--check with Dave at AITM. He was casting a Ford W cab for a friend and he might still sell them. I have one myself. It is just the cab, interior tub, and dash. If he adds it to his lineup, I'm sure he will add more components for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks fore the info, Jerry. I'll check it out. I just might do that. Right now it's hooked to the Peterbilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
