A Big Trailer...

[airforceone]

I recently bought this older Mistuwa tractor trailer kit. It comes with a Mitsubishi Fuso tractor, and a very nice car hauler trailer. The trailer doesn't hold as many cars as the Revell kit, but the fit and finsh is much better and the ramps and such are wider as well. It will hold 5 cars, six if you're willing to cut it up a bit. It's all molded in grey with rubber tires and lots of black rubber tubing. Very neat. I'll be going with all Tamiya colors on this, probably TS-29, Semi-gloss black. To plan what to put on the trailer, I have a Fujimi Lancer Evolution Zero Fighter, Aoshima Skyline Z-tune, Revell Baldwin Motion 69 Camaro, and an older Tamiya Mercedes DTM racer that will be assembled without the racing decals. I'm stealing the idea from a member of this board, but trust me when I say it will look spectacular. But then I'm still left with one open slot on the trailer...? I think I will build a Pete 359 instead of the Fuso as a hauler.

The Kit



It will be a few weeks before I can get this underway, but it will be a major undertaking that will last me a while.

Was gonna get it a while back when it was on HLJ still. Kit looked like it would be awsome. Does the truck have an engine with it?

The Fuso has full detail, engine and all. When I get get my digital camera charged I'll get pictures of the all the contents. Judging by the instructions and my past experience, it will all go together without issue. The one thing that kind of surprised me about the Fuso was that it has only one drive axle on its 3 axle chassis. I don't think it's a kit thing but I've been looking for reference pics on the net just to be sure.
