Jerry, Do i seem like the kind of person that would buy an Antique, find out the given measurements were wrong, and then take an angle-grinder to it?

"Check out this 1 Weird Trick to increase your model shelf storage space: "

I might have spent too long at some of our events looking at a Mighty-Tonka car carrier with some 1/18 diecast cars chained down.


Tonka, Nylint, Structo usually get more of a feel for the 1940-50s era auto transporter trailers. I liked this one since it's a little bit later style but still looks cool, still shows off the lower deck cars, and looks a little closer to the hydraulic ones i'm used to. Plus it's got a better top-loading ramp than most.



Would need something like triple Sectioned, and likely also have to perform something like a station wagon Chop-top, maybe some stretch between C and D pillars?

A smart guy would have been better off to get a WPL D-12, couple styrene tricks to shrink the cab a little and turn a 1/10 Kei truck into a 1/14 Medium duty import truck like a Hino or Fuso, and build a bed into either a Ramp truck or Flatbed towtruck possibly with a wheel-lift.
