My new IDEA

[model1:25th scale]

here is my new IDEA that I am working on. and I have the revell 1/25 Scale Peterbilt auto carrier from ebay. and I am going to put my idea with this kit. I am using old trees and extra ramps from the Galaxie 38 foot Fifth wheel trailer kit. to help me with my idea.

I am working on the ramp supports, and yes the hood dose open and close freely. and no I am going to use the tractor in the picture.

Joseph, this is looking cool! Although I would look into posting this under the On The Workbench: Big Rigs section found here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showforum=6

When you mentioned that trailer, my first thought was impossibly long sleeper.

this si why I am figuring the length out getting the ramp stoppers at the end making the ramp supports , once I get the revel transport kit in i'll check the sleep. but to be very honest when that kit came out back in the 90's they should have add the top ramps. but thank you

Gotta watch those "clearance" numbers on underpasses pretty close.

lol I hear on that.

Gotta watch those "clearance" numbers on underpasses pretty close.

That being said, all the auto transporters that I have seen in person have a vehicle or two on the roof of the tractor. The tractors, however, could best be described as "lowriders"; they definitely do not sit at the usual height for road tractors.

since you are using a galaxie trailer you should enter this into the MCM special contest. I don't know the details offhand but it could be coming due sometime soon
