Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I think there's a 24th scale car carrier trailer made by a Japanese model maker. If not you may have to scratch build one or just get some 25th scale car kits if you can get a 25 scale car transport trailer.
george 53 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Darcy, Revell of Germany makes a nice 80's era Car hauler trailer. AMT used to make a 50's era trailer, but that rascal has been OOP for MANY years. You best bet is E model cars, or the 'Bay. :rolleyes:

Yes I can get a 1/25 car trailer one but cannot find any companys who build a 1/24 scale one and would a 1/25 scale trailer look alright on a 1/24 scale semi. do you know which company might make them if you think some do? or where i would get the tires and rims for a 1/24 scale to build it as i do have lots in my cars and trucks I have over 115 kits just no semi or haulers lol

george 53 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Darcy, there's only a 64th of an inch or so difference between the scales. Yes, a 25thscale trailer will look OK behind a 24th scale tractor. :rolleyes:

Chad Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I have built the revell of Germany t900 and it is a pretty great kit. I am building the revell us kw aerodyne right now and it's pretty cool too since it's so cheap you can be creative. Chad
Darcy Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 yes I can get this trailer it is a 1/25 scale thanks

Chad ok I heard that revel usa peterbilt one new one is a bad kit and the new revell kenworth 900 with lighting bolts is not to bad of a kit both are 1/25 I just wanted the italire t900 austraian hauler kit which is a 1/24 kit is a very good kit and I love that look to and I know revell makes this kit to as a 1/25 scale but have not heard if any good
highway Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Darcy, here's a few pics that might help answer most of your questions. The first one is the Revell of Germany trailer Chucky posted the pic of, loaded with a mix of 1/24 and 1/25 scale kits and diecasts, and being pulled by the Revell US Peterbilt 359. As for if a 1/25 scale trailer looks ok on a 1/24 scale tractor, like George said, there is not much difference at all. This is an Italeri 1/24 scale tractor and AMT 1/25 scale trailer together.

modeltruckmafia Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Here are 2 I built over the years First Italeri Freightliner FLD120 I added the extra ramp to the roof of the truck after ripping apart another car carrier This is a double car hauler I built awhile ago sorry I do not have better pics of this. You can see more of the trucks here Way2manyhobbies
Mopar - D Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Darcy where can you get this transport trailer from I would like to pick one up my self. Thanks
Darcy Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Darcy where can you get this transport trailer from I would like to pick one up my self. Thanks you can get one off ebay or find guys who willing to sell or trade them
NickHotRodNova71 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 any suggestions on how to make a flat bed trailer from scratch? without using a torch without welding or metal?
scale trucker Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 bass wood planking,evergreen channel,and i beam...that car trailer is a good trailer that 1/24 cars fit perfect...i have 6 of them
BigBad Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Darcy, I believe the Kenworth T900 you're talking about is actually a Revell of Germany and is a 1:25 scale model. I might be mistaking but... I don't recall Italeri producing a Kenworth...yet. So anyway as modeltruckmafia has shown his 1:24 scale Freightliner fits pretty nicely with that Revell car transport. That trailer is a very nice kit by the way, I built one some years back. I had cars in 1:25 and 1:24 th scale on it and looked pretty good. If you find one, jump on it, it's the best one yet, honestly.
Ben Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 That Revell Kenworth "T900" (Actually just a W900, "A" model with Australian parts added) is 1/25, not 1/24. The Revell car hauler trailer is 1/25 as well and would work just fine behind the Kenworth.
ewaskew Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 This is what I built with one of the revell trailer's that your going to use. The rack on the truck is scratch built it's my second one that I built. The Tri Axle is not needed but I just liked the way it looked. This is what they call a Stinger style setup. It has 1/24 and 1/25 scale car's on it also.
Kostas Parchas Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Earl, this red Peterbilt is briliand!!!! Kostas.
