Just found out that italeri has slated a new trailer...a dumper trailer kit{#3845}. Anyone heard anything else about it like. when?

On the same token, I question when amt will ever rerelease that 3 axle gravel trailer of theirs.

From the talk on some other sites, it sounds like it's on hold indifinately.

Awh just peachy...I've had two of them on pre-order since march!


...looks like I'll be watching for italeri's version!


...how goes the astro? I'm stuck on the two outer rear windows for the L700...can't get them to bend without crazing the glass...and the B-61 is about to get repainted{still got all the rest of the wrecker gear to go yet too}.

The Astro is plodding along nicely. I've got the frame mostly done, and I'm hoping to post pics soon in my Build Log. Might even get a couple of outside shots if the rain/hail holds off long enough! The paint scheme on the cab is going to be a challenge though.

...good, I'd love to see pics when you get the time.{heck - we all would!}

I hear ya on the paint thing...the B-61 is in primer and good to go...now for a paint scheme! I decided not to go back to the pearl green{nice color, but not this time nor rig}. Got the boyd "pacific blue" or MM "chrysler engine red" for the main body, and MM "light ivory" for the fenders and roof top. My choices..either "blue and cream" or "red and cream"...any input on that?!

Just out of curiousity, what scheme did you want to do for the GMC?


...and I'm going to try hot water to help flex the clear sheet better next round this week{cross your fingers!}....I will be!
