That's a tough call mate.
Personally, I'd go for it and build my own. However, I'd check the time, by building one, and see how long it takes me? Then I'd multiply that, by the amount of cross members, plus the rails and end pieces.
I'd do this because, my time is limited and nobody really looks at the bottom of a trailer?
That being said, I have plans to build some very interesting trailers, in the future, all from scratch!
If time is on your side, go for it. If not, straight on top of the old, works too.

The kit bed has 'just' 21 crossmembers. I think I'll pass on recreating those.

Goldman, mine is one of 2 marked as completed here on Scalemates. So I guess it is a rarity when built.
The combination found a new temporary parking spot just below the tv. My wife wanted her shelf back 🤫
In the end it will move to my cabinet. Too many destructive forces roam my living room, including said wife.

Thank you all for motivating me along the way, much appreciated!

That chassis looks fantastic!

2 September, 05:53

September 1, 2024

Martin Oostrom
This kit goes together relatively well. The truck has few fit issues, which can be solved by dry fitting.
The trailer needs some attention to get the box squared. The mounting of the axles to the chassis is a bit flimsy, not much contact area to glue.
There is a hook on the underside of the chassis, near the rear. Remove this, as it might interfere with the rearmost storage bin.
Pay attention to both parts Z3 on the rearmost storage bin. I think the instructions show them upside down. Position them in the same manner as the larger storage bin.

The decal work on the truck is a pick your poison choice. You either glue the cab, paint and decal like I did, but I had to leave out the interior on the doors to get the rest of the interior in. Or you paint, decal and clearcoat the parts first, before glueing.
I think the latter option gives you better results on the decals, but you MUST pay attention to alignment.
And there are some dotted lines in the decals, these need to be cut BEFORE getting the decals wet.

Not a kit for decal novices!

The truck is definitely a reboxed Italeri and the trailer probably too. So a lot of work to be done.

They both are, Italeri molds, mate. Just take your time and double check everything. Personally, I'd build it, just because of the picture you have. That would make a fitting print, as a backdrop, when displaying it 🙂

Nice one Martin👍 Have you considered applying a second layer of clear? Let the first one dry, smooth it out a little bit and give it another round of high gloss. Works for me every time if the first round is not as smooth as I wanted it to be and gives you more "buffer" for sanding and polishing

I have bought 4 kits from Bernd Korte centuryfan
Bernd was very friendly, the total price was reasonable and the kits were shipped promptly and well packaged.

Based on this experience, I can recommend Bernd as a seller 👍🏻
