Great looking truck and trailer combo

Re: Project: Grain Hauler
 

The combo looks great Rob, one of the best scale trailer builds I've seen on the forums!

Sorry to bring this post out of the abyss, but do you have any pics of the buildup of the hopper trailer. Thinking about building one. Just need to decide with trailer kit to order to rob parts from. Either the flatbed or the van trailer... Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hey Brad, thanks for the interest. The hopper bottom, itself, is a kit from Izzy on the board. It's a basic hopper so you can then build the trailer to any Brand you desire. The panels are ribbed panels from Plastruct 91513

This is a beautiful build Rob, awesome job!

Re: Project: Grain Hauler
 

Thanks for the update Robert. Now I remember him offering a kit. I've just been out of the rig game for so long I had forgotten. Now I'm back with a couple rigs and and a van trailer. I guess I will have to get creative as looks like izzy has closed down. I have a buddy who works for a local farm that can probably get me access to a hopper trailer so I will just have to get creative. Thanks again! Hopefully I will be at the Indy show next year with something to show off.
