AMT Freuhauf Van 1/25

[Snowman]

Hi gang!

It's been a while since I last posted.

As part of my club truck build off, I started at the back with the trailer or van as it is labeled on the box. The beasty 19" long trailer was quite a handful due it's sheer size and interestingly different. The last time I built anything truck wise was back in 1990/1992.

Anyway here are pics of the beast. A little rusty, grimy and exhaust smoke stained as can be expected from something that has been dragged to and fro a number of times across the US outback.

Thanks for looking.

I don't know much about tractor/trailer rigs but that van looks to be over 50 ft. long in that scale. Looks to me you have done a great job on this Gavin and I'm looking forward to seeing the construction of the tractor. Rick H.
