Default My Tamiya 40' Container trailer
Here are a few photos of my latest build, the Tamiya 40' container trailer.
I will be posting my build steps later in a separate thread.
I messed up the decals on the right side, but will be re-doing them when I get new ones.

Nice looking tractor and trailer. Are the connections from the tractor to the trailer part of the kit?

Thank you for sharing,

Jim

The connectors are NOT part of the kit. I modify all my tractors and trailers with Miniatronic 4 pin connectors that I get at the model train store.

That's a great looking trailer and container. Vacuum formed or not, it sure came out nice. It looks very detailed. I also appreciate the low angle, more realistic looking photos. Nice job!

The pic w the cab facing forward looks great. As state above love the pic angles for the look alone, and great looking trailer too

I dont get it, I pay nothing for my photobucket, and it still works, and yet I see threads full of dead photobucket pictures.

Nice looking build, is it still around??

Postimage.org seems like a good free photo-host site, too.
And it'll let you upload a bunch at one time, very easy to use.
They have a handful of web-sharing link options, 1 of them works fairly easily.
