kilrathy10 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) I built this Volvo about 8 years ago and the drop deck a couple of months ago.....I had this old container (my wife works for COSCO steam ship lines) that I built about 15 years ago and threw them all together for this combo...I made the decals on my computer a long time ago....About the time they started making decal paper for ink jets.......I haven't strapped it in, as I'm still not sure this will be the load I keep, but I see these things hauled this way all the time....The low slung tool box on the trailer was, actually a mistake, but I kinda like it, so I left it thataway....Wouldn't even make it out of the yard with that on it, but....Anyway....Here it is....

Pavel A. Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I like this Volvo. Together with trailer = great and interesting combination. Very nice work JT.
TRaymo Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Something I have pulled many of. 40' container on a step deck. You dont have to throw straps over it if you got some container locks on the trailer deck. Where did you get a 40' container anyway? I've only seen the 20' italeri kit.
tbill Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I just love those Volvo rigs this must be from your pre-orange period good looking combo, beautiful job as always JT.
slusher Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 JT, every morning I use to have a line of trucks most with drop deck trailers with steel coils from Raitan to be unloaded and inspected. Great looking Volvo and trailer. Awesome work...
kilrathy10 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Hey, thanks, Guys....I've had that container for several years, Travis....It was issued and reissued years ago from Italeri....Funny thing about that 20'.....It's one of my wife's company's "China Ocean Shipping Co." chief competitors "China Shipping" that they've made the decals from.....I can't even bring that thing in the house.... ....

tbill Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 i'm glad these rigs are going to be re-issued [according to the Italeri site], I can't wait to get one or two....
