KJ790 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I can't believe how quickly I finished this one! This is an awesome kit with tons of detail. I made a few modifications to make it more my liking however. I shaved 2' off of the length (well, 2 scale feet) and scratch-built the rear doors and tail lights. I moved the glad-hands/electric plug to the center of the trailer, I scratch-built a Carrier reefer unit, and I added 5-hole steel wheels.
tbill Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 excellent job, looks real. great pic's, shadows/background are terrific.
Harry P. Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 That looks absolutely like a real trailer. Excellent work!
Jim B Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Great looking trailer, KJ. What are you going to hook it to?
KJ790 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Great looking trailer, KJ. What are you going to hook it to? Thanks! I think my next project will be a Peterbilt 379. I'm not sure if this will sit behind it or if I will make a different trailer for it.
kilrathy10 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Great work on this trailer.....I agree about how nice a kit this is.....Nice work on cutting down on the length.....Very nice.....But the best thing is that rear door setup.....Just beautiful....I'm pretty sure I'll be doing one up like this one....You've inspired me, Man......Great job....
FLD120 Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 For sure it does look real!! good job! I think I will have to get one for the Lonestar I just finished.
Old Buckaroo Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Wow that is nice. I have to agree with the others for that looking real ! The Steel wheel Five holes really make this one stand out. I wish kit manufactures would get on the ball and offer those in kits.
