Well, Boys, I've completed another one....I built the truck pretty much box stock with the only addition being the headache rack....A modified Revell Pete 359 unit.....The trailer is the new Moebius issue and a great one it is.....The only thing I'd like to point out is that it scales out to a couple feet short of 53', though.....Not a problem, but I'm wondering why....If you count the refer unit, it is 53' on the money, though....Anyway....Here it is....Thanks for looking......I had fun with this one.....No real issues to report, kit wise, anyway.....Any discrepencies were all me.... :D

Nice rig JT. Did the decals for the trailer come with the kit? I seem to remember seeing those decals years and years ago( 70's) in another trailer kit. Really nice build man!! B)

That's a great looking combination. The Moebius Great Dane trailer looks perfect behind the Volvo. Those decals are from the Italeri reefer trailer, right? Perfect for Texas.

Is it factory fresh, at the dealer ready to be delivered to the owner, cause I don't see any number plate on the bumper?!!!

Nice one JT, both guy and dog should be proud of it.

BTW, I like the idea using the Italeri decals on this trailer.

Thanks, Guys, for all the support you gave me on this project......I really appreciate it.....

You're right, Kostas....I completely forgot about the license plates.....I was gonna dig the Texas plates out from the Pete 377 kit.....Totally forgot....Gotta hop onto that.... :D

And I believe Kostas has answered you question, Kevin....Thanks so much for your interest.....

And thank God for all of you....May He bless you, richly.....

  • Another great job.. Shame you ran out of the orange. Something just doesn't seem right on the world without your signature color.. But as always you show us perfection!!!!

Looks great J.T.! I've been trying to find an Italeri VN770, but they are few and far between, and the prices are out of my price range. It's kind of a shame they didn't add an engine to the kit.

That's interesting that the trailer is not correct. they need to correct that...

I must recant my statement about the trailer's length....It is difinitely spot on....I totally enjoyed building it....It's an awesome kit and I thank everyone from Moebius for putting out such awesome kits....Thanks, Brian, for setting me straight and making me go back and verify my measurements.....

The trailer decals come from Italeri's 48-foot-reefer trailer
