Thanks Sharkey, I'm doing a box trailer with the same paint theme and a huge "Support or Troops" own the sides but I really like the idea of the plane on a trailer.

Hey thanks Aaron, when the trailer is complete it should really come together. Now I'm working on the lights and sound, not my strong point at all.

Good thought CrewCab59, I have a set on one of my crawlers, I'll hold them up against and see. I'm going to try the Datons as well unpolished and see how that does. Thanks

I would only ever put black rims on a white cab and chassis. thats my 2 cents.

I hear ya, I'm trying the Dayton's as soon as they come in and I'll post pics of that when I'm done. Thanks for your input.
