This is the Hemi Thunder Team Rig. It is the Revell 359 converted to a single axle goose neck hauler. The trailer is the Galaxy 40 footer and the interior is all scratch built with the exception of the engine hoist which come with the trailer kit. The Dodge Dart hemi is from AMT and is a very nice build kit. I cut an opening along the roof of the trailer and inserted a clear roof panel also.

Nice job on this unit. I like the brown on the 359.

A very well built Mopar hauler!!! I like the brown too....I'm trying to stay away from conventional modeling colors which still leaves plenty of nice paint schemes in single and multi color venues.

Question sir- what are the two boxes just in front of the drive axle....stowage?

Thanks. The boxes are for stowage.
