Abuilder Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I am looking for a 1:24/25 scale kit for a NASCAR hauler. I found a Terry Labonte Kellogg kit on Model Roundups site, but it is OOP/unavailable. There are plenty of 1:64 diecast available, but not really interested in that scale. Does any one have any “leads” or other ideas such as modifying an existing trailer kit. I have completed Alan Kulwicki’s #7 Hooters and have the Aeromax 120 truck kit and looking for the trailer to complete the display.
Shark Posted March 20 Posted March 20 AMT made what you are looking for back in the 90's I believe. They did the Bill Elliot Coor's, and some others. Same trailer, different markings. I was at a swap meet a few weeks ago and seen a few for sale, still sealed, from different vendors. They turn up, just keep your eyes open for them.
Shark Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Just looked at Southern Motorsports Hobbies and he has an Elliot hauler, look under discontinued kits. Wants $75 for it, little pricey in my opinion, but it depends on how bad you want it.
RW033 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 https://www.modeltruckbuilder.com/index.php?/gallery/category/16-trailers/ not sure how accurate this is but there’s some race car style trailers here, I think there was a tutorial somewhere here too on building it

Duane Garner Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Take a look at BCS trading on Ebay or BCS Models.com. He also does custom work so check him out. He custom made a camper top for my '77 Chevy C10 project. Preces are very reasonable too
Force Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Unfortunately the AMT Race Car Transporter trailers is just their old Trailmobile Moving Van trailer from 1972 with some new decals and some interior parts, that could be fairly right if you are building a transporter trailer from the late 70's-early 80's allthough its very short at 40 feet, has spring suspension, no upper deck, just ramps for the cars and so forth and they did 3 versions of it in 1990, the Bill Elliott No 9 Coors NASCAR transporter, the Kodak No 4 Ernie Irvan NASCAR transporter and the STP Kraco Galles Indy Car transporter, same kit different decals. The trailers used after that was specially built to be race car haulers and they are longer and taller, has air ride, spread axles or even three axles, double decks where the bottom is a workshop with lots of cabinets and benches and the top deck is where the cars are, a lift at the back for lifting the cars to the upper deck and things like that, and the modern ones are 53 or even 56 feet long made by Featherlite, Competition, Pegasus, Renegade, Ultra Comp and companies like that. No model companies has done that type of transporter trailers, I wish they did because I also want one, but nothing.
ncbuckeye67 Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I have two of the Coors transporters (one still sealed), and a Kodak transporter that's open & some of the fixtures and tools painted. I also have a sealed Kenworth Canepa to pull the transporters.
