Hi, I`ve covered the box trailer with thin alumnium sheet, after adding rivet detail & exterior post detail. I am now working on the rear shutter. After looking at photos of real trailers i decided to offset the connections at the front. Also the landing legs will raise & lower. More soon. Graham.

Hi, Hope you all had a good christmas. I`ve put the decals on & started weathering, Theres still more detail to be added, Plus theres a couple of sink marks i`ve missed that need filling on the tandem. Graham.

Looks like a very nice job. Can't wait to see it hooked to the tractor.
