As well as Mopars I am into trucks. Here is my 1/4 scale model tractor unit I am building.

It has a conventional ( bonneted body ) day cab made from fibreglass and I will be building a replica 40 ft dry freight box trailer for it. It will be painted and fitted with 12 volt lighting.

Total length with trailer is about 15 ft ( the board it is on is 5 ft )

Looks great Jon,

What you need to do is build a replica of what will be your D600 Race Car Transporter (same livery etc).
Then you have the model and the real thing.

Would put the model in a case at the rear of the cab!

Ok ... it`s not a Kenworth but a White Road Boss 1

I`m looking at getting moulds made and selling finished trucks in customers` liveries .. or lit up as truck stop / dealership signs etc

I did the AMT White Road Boss kit in 1/25th , still got it with the rest of my truck model collection.

Lot of skill there Jon.

Where do you find wheels and tyres like that.......larger model kits or something more bespoke?
