new tamiya release this year

I got mine.

The good part.



The part I was not expecting. I was expecting to open the box and find some nice styrene panels that you bolt together but instead I found what appear to be vacuum formed panels that you have to trim and paint not to mention other than the axles and a few other parts molded in black the rest of the trailer in molded in white. So you might as well decide what color your going to paint it.



Now I just need a regular trailer axle to replace the front one that acts like a steering axle. I do have the housings to make the other two int regular axles so I can put the duals on it.

Yes, I got my trailer too. The vacu-formed panels are a pain. I cut the straight edges with a band saw and the screw holes were cut using a standard paper punch. All my panels are now joined and painted. Tamiya recommends TS-81 (Royal Navy gray) but I could not find this color. I ended up with a slightly darker gray (TS-32, Haze gray)
