Lance C. requested I post some additional photos of this, so here's my version of the "White Line Fever" Red River Shipping trailer. I know that there are some differences between the AMT kit & the trailer used in the movie, but I'll live with them. The Red River Shipping decals are from JBot; while the Fruehauf, "Wide Right Turn", data plates, & license plates are from the AMT Fruehauf van decal sheet. The Nevada plate is from the "Bixby Livestock" decal sheet that I picked up from Model Express a couple of yeas ago. Is it just me, or do the trailer side logos look a little small? I posed it with a couple of different tractors just to see how it looked. I kind of like it with the 359    Although the Astro does look good, too.  |

They do look a little small to me also but I haven't seen those decals or the movie in a long time so I really can't say. I like the build and the display. Table almost makes it look like its sitting in shallow water, or on ice. Really a nice build there .

The trailer came out really nice, in fact all three look great! I too have not seen that movie in a while but I think the side decals do look a little small. Still the decals look great.

Jim,
Both tractors look good with the trailer. And it would look right with the Ford coe.
Be Well

Thanks, Gator. I'm hoping to do a Ford WT9000 for it in the future.

Yes, that's the Revell USA reissue of the Monogram Snap Peterbilt 359. The Winslow stripe decals came from Jbot.
