53ft van and reefer trailers

[kingbob]

How did i miss this??

Love the one piece folded sheet fpr the sides and front! Makes it look so clean!

I finished my 53 footer for Optimus yesterday, came in at 1150mm long, not including reefer. The side panels i used were actually stainless steel, i couldnt find the ribbed pattern in aluminium. Its made by Rimex metals, should be available in the US.

I worked the sizing out pretty much the same:
1:1
53' long
13'6" overall tall
110" inside height
102" wide

In 1/14
1153mm (not including reefer)
293mm tall total
199.5mm tall interior (box)
185mm wide

They're the measurements my trailer is built on. I did lower the trailer a bit as well to get the wheels closer to the frame for a more scale appearance. Basically re-drilled all the suspension mounting holes 10 or 15mm higher.
