I have several iterations of the trailer , so definitely watching this

Goldman
Nice start. Will be an interesting tractor-trailer combination

Qwertzel
Looking pretty good! Taking a seat

Bozzer
Peterbilt 378 by any chance?

Chris
378 yes. A shame it didn't come with a Cummins. Can't seen to find a '53 flat deck or B-train either.

Bozzer
Try Kit Form Services? They've changed ownership and they're coming out with new Stuff, monthly? Also try Auslowe in Australia.
I thought it was the 378, because of the motor. Most italeri kits come with a Cummins. You can also get them aftermarket, from Auslowe, and a few other guys. If you get stuck, gimme a shout and I'll see what I can dig up? Always happy to help a fellow truck modeller 👍

This is a list on Model Cars Magazine forum with available engines in kits and in resin:

A little outdated but a very good start

Moebius offered a 48 flat bed trailer that you can maybe extend to 53:
48' Flatbed Trailer (Moebius Models 1304, 1:25)
I think it was released over 10 years ago but you can still find it occasionally on Amazon

Bozzer
As a thought, you could also get the Great Dane Extendable Trailer, and put your own deck on it?

Chris
Thanks, I'll check them out.

Chris
Gonna try a semi-gloss for the engine/chassis this time and see how that looks. They come glossy from the factory but that doesn't last very long.

You did a fine job on that Mike. Fantastic paint job. I hope mine comes out like this. I think I'm going to do mine in the box art scheme, but I do like the one you chose.

Mike Goodman
Hi David, the colours for my scheme are the same as the box art, except I chose the jet that had no shark mouth. Wrap around schemes are challenging, to say the least.
