Default Lesu 20ft container trailer build pictures

Some pictures of my new 20ft container trailer.











It's very well made with just the landing legs being a bit of a pain to use by having to pull a small pin out.



It's being sprayed in Fiat Capri Blue.









Lots of small parts to be sprayed. The trailer comes finished off with just the wheels and bumper to bolt on, and with build instructions coming with it lots of pictures of how it went together were needed.







I changed the stock wheels for these ones they look much better.



The doors for the container finished off. This did not come with the trailer.

It's almost finished off just waiting for the bumper to dry.

Nice job on the painting! Container looks the business with all the details.

The container is made by Hercules hobby which is just a shorter version of the Tamiya 40ft container. Some of the screws for it can be a little soft so I decided to use better quality ones for the rear doors. It's almost complete so will best pictures soon.

Thanks for the kind remarks it's the first build which I'm really happy with. Would love to make a 40ft trailer and shipping container when funds allow in the future.
