53ft van and reefer trailers

[1985 kenworth]

here are the final updates to my scale 53ft van trailer .just have to drill and tap the roof on the trailer but other than that it is pretty much finished ,now if you look at the trailer you will see a gap on the underside of the trailer and others have been saying it needs to be filled in when actually it doesn't.if you look at real trailers the only ones that have a full frame on them are 4 and 5 axle flatbed trailers or the container chassis but the regular van trailers have the rear suspension ..which slides and the landing gear only so here are the updated pics of this trailer complete with Wabash decals and a few roof patches because of my rookie forklift driver,who put the mast through the roof of this brand new trailer.i did not fire him because...well it was me..lol
also added the body rub rail for those drivers that can not back beside you without rubbing the trailers

i got some new ones made to the right scale in height and i will be picking them up soon they are around 8" high and the actual height of the real trailer box is 9' 6" and measured from the ground up they are allowed a maximum height of 13' 6'' high and i calculated it and that would make the scale height of these trailers 8.1 inches high and the new ones coming are right around that mark
