Tanker Trailer to put behind my Revell Pete gearz entry.

[scorpionman27]

I had been debating on what I was building next my KW 900 wrecker, or a trailer to put behind my gearz contest truck and finally made my decision while on vacation. This trailer I bought years ago off Ebay still factory sealed.  Its AMT so it does have issues though such as fitment, but I have began to work on that its still early on though.

Nice start on a sometime stubborn model to build. I like the disks that you are using inside the tanker!

Looks good so far.I agree with Gator,the disks make it very much more stability i think.

Thanks for the comments about the disks, they were only thing I could come up with to add some stability to the tank. Unfortunately when I opened this kit I knew I was in for a tough build as it had a lot of warped parts. Some of the parts I was able to straighten perfectly and some it is just gonna have to work. I have made a lot of progress on the build since my last post, but I just haven't had time to update this post until today.  The last pic is just after initial painting has been finished so still need to clear it, and progress will resume after I log off of here.

Bjorn,
The tank look real good.I like the color, and I am looking forward to seeing who's flag it will fly? Now the chassis I know had to be a problem. As it is rather light as chassis go.

Gator,

I am not Bjon. Don't worry I didn't take it personal, and I am not offended or anything. I just wanted to point it out to make sure as not to cause any confusion, or possibly offend Bjon in case they thought I was acting as them or something. I appreciate the comments though and you are correct the chassis was a real pain in the . In fact you can probably tell it is not quite straight, but when I mocked it up after my last post the tank helps line it up corretly. Sorry to disappoint but I am going with an independently owned and operated look to match the truck which is leased to United Trucking Inc.( its what came in the Revell 359). Oh and off topic I just wanted to say as a disabled vet I really like your signature.
