Default Need construction plan for a car transporter

Hy Guys,

I need your help.

For my "Short King Hauler Rig" i want to build a Car Transporter in 1:Tamiya (nearly 1:14,5 )

In the 80´s Revell build a Car Transporter Model in 1:24 and i like the american style of this Trailer:



But in germany - we got no information about these sort of trailers. Also the Internet search was without success.

So i hope for your help. I´m looking for Construction Plans in 1:1 to convert them in 1:Tamiya. Also i´m looking for pictures of Car Transporters like this one.

Your Guys are living in the motherland of trucking and so i´m sure that you can help me

@ the administrators: If this is the wrong area for my search please put my search in the corect area (i´m looked, but i found no better area - sorry)

Papabaer I have only seen one or two of these done with working details in scale. Pretty sure I saw them done on German forums. The links already given are the closest US models offered. I don't even know who makes them but some of the guys here I am sure will know. I look forward to seeing the build.

I see these trailers usually once a week maybe once every two weeks working at the mazda dealership. I can get pics if needed with my iphone. Might be able to get some manufacturer info as well.
