Allied Freightliner with Drom and Trailer

[kilrathy10]

Well, Boys, I finally finished this thing.....There may be a little touchup to the trailer interior to be done, but it's mostly done.....I kinda wanna get started on something else, now.....Not that I'm bored with it, but I have a LOT of trucks to build.....If The Lord lets me live till I'm about 137, I think I'll get them all done..... Anyway, a few of you are familiar with this build, but for those who are not, I built this to "replicate" a truck that I see every day on my way to work......With a few added touches of my own, of course.....

I gotta say.....Jerry's decals http://modeltruckin.com are the best I've ever seen.....Real high quality stuff, Boys.....Need some more of those.....

Other than those, I stretched the frame, made my own fuel tanks, tool boxes/APU, and used jewels from HL for marker lights.....Some double diamond plate was added to the wheel wells and front portion of the trailer.....It just seemed like the thing to do.....

I hope you boys enjoy it as much as I had fun building it.....

Here it is with the fleet.....

Looks great JT. The fleet looks great. Im sure whatever you start next will get the standard "treatment" and look right at home with the rest.

[Chris White]

now that's putting the "BIG" back in the rig. Nice work

[ewaskew]

Another nice one JT

[trick my mixer]

Super nice work JT!!!!! The only thing you need to make them look like real bedbuggers is a box of ritz crackers and bag of Doritos on the dash. LOL!!!!!!!

[kilrathy10]

Thanks a lot, Guys.....I had a ball building it....I really like this one, and I'm glad y'all do too.....Thanks again, Fellas....

Those decals are looking realy good there is no bleed though the white top quality I would say . What chrome paint is that ,is it alclad?

[kilrathy10]

Got some outside pics added....

[Brinx]

Great looking bugger JT!

You've brought The old-school Kentucy, drom and Freightshaker together perfectly. The driver and his "helper" bring it to life.

[kilrathy10]

These are all the paints I used for this one, Dave.....I used the Silver Foil Metallic for everything.....Looks good, huh?? And in ONE step....Paint it and walk away....And thanks, Mike.....I love those little figures....

Im not sure we can get those Krylon paints in the UK . It sure does give Alclad a run for its money . Do you use gloss black under it first?

[kilrathy10]

It will, actually, luster like that either way.....With or without primer.....Sprayed the trailer with it right over the orange.....Not like other paints, as it coats very well, and best applied in one coat.....Excellent stuff....
