Re: Kitbashed tamiya flatbed???
I don't have any pic's as of yet, but combining 2 kits is exactly what I'm doing to get a more realistic flatbed trailer.
I measured out true scale length of a trailer and made a frame to the right length out of 2 sections of heavier (thicker) aluminum channel (should be strong enough over the longer length).
I put the hitch plate and associated plastic bits in the milling machine and cut them down slightly to account for the thicker frame peices while keeping the outside dimensions right for mounting axle / suspension. I'm goind to combine 2 sets of deck parts / wood from to Tamiya kits to build the top......clear as mud??
