asfastasu Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Built this one about four years ago. Painted with Tamiya spray can orange and white. Built OOB except for adding dual stacks, homemade half fenders, trailer plumbing and added a release handle on fifth wheel. Pics are from my phone. 2 Quote

The half fenders are made from Plastruct O scale/1:48 ribbed roof sheets. I formed them over a socket and warmed them up with a hairdryer on low and covered them with bare metal foil. Quote
Rockford Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 A well thought out approach which yielded excellent results. Quote

asfastasu Posted August 25, 2021 Author Posted August 25, 2021 Thanks fellas! I'm going to have to build something to hook up behind these someday. Was thinking of the flatbed with the amt dozer on it as I already have the dozer, and the gravel trailer for my LT9000 as it will have a wet kit on it. Quote
