Revell Auto Transport Trailer

[Jonj238]

Does anyone own this kit? The description on Mega Hobby lists it as 5 1/8" tall and 6 7/8" wide. Is this true? That seems really wide. I'm wondering if they have the measurements backward. I really want one of these but the plexiglass covered shelf I have to display my trucks is only a little over 5 1/2" wide.

Model roundup say's Revell sold out of this trailer and already disscontuned it.

[tbill]

this should give you an idea,

[tbill]

it's a touch wider than the 2x4 it's sitting on.

I have one on the way, so ask me next week and I'll measure it.

I have 3 built up for displaying built cars and just measured one... it is 4 3/4" high over the highest point, 4 7/8" over the widest part, and 23 3/8" long.

Well that figures....probably would not show up at our hobby lobby anyway i guess....bummer.

Thanks for the measurements. I ordered one. Good way to display some of my Mopars I built years ago. The trailer is still in stock at hobbylinc.com for those of you who are wanting one.

Hey Tom, if you measure from the ground to the top of your highest camaro, how many inches is it? looks like around 8" to me.

Ordered one from Model Roundup the other day, on the way..I figure this will be nice to use in a diorama display eventually..maybe w/ an AMT Ford C class cab and a load of '70-71 Ford products..

Anyone heard any answers as to why the discontinuation? We were never told it was a limited run, so what gives?

[Petetrucker07]

I think Revell under priced it. Not that I'm complaining about paying 40 bucks, but I would've paid 60 for this trailer.

I got two and will get some more, almost done building the 1st one

[Petetrucker07]

Hobbylinc.com is out of stock. But they are saying more will be in in Aug.

[crazyjim]

Do you paint the thing first and then glue it together?

[tbill]

If I get a chance tonight I will measure it for you.

Yes, paint all parts first, then assemble, much easier that way.

Also of note, the plumbing diagram sucks for the hydraulic lines, and you have to make holes or fittings for the rams for the hoses to attach to them.

[tbill]

Jon, I have it in a display case, toward the front, so I had to measure it in an eyeball kinda way [case is a paint to move to get into], but it looks to be 6 1/2 to maybe 7 tall from 'ground' to car roof top.

Just read that it will be reiussed but at a higher price.

That wouldn't surprise one bit. Not that I'm complaining, but I think they under priced it and realized it when the first run flew off shelves.

Jon at Model Cave in Ypsilanti, MI, apparently ordered a batch of these and today he told me most of them were gone. He had only seven left when I visited today, and his price seemed to me to be below what I was expecting.

His store is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays....recommend you give him a call on Wednesday if you are still looking for this trailer.
