TRLU 101039 (20' Refrigerated Container)



This project, from start to finish, seemed to have a natural flow to it:

1. See picture of real neat prototype.

2. Figure out what it will take to model real neat prototype.

3. Research, research, research.

and finally...

4. Model the thing!!

After a substantial amount of time elapsed, it's done. Although lots of fun to build (and a few more are on the way), this model wasn't without compromise. There are no comercially available decals for a Transamerica reefer, so the lettering and heralds come from other sets. Lots of cut, fit and paste.

The first eight photos use an in-progress Maersk chassis, while the last two, well, you'll see...

Enjoy the photos!! These projects took a good chunk of time, nut it was indeed worth every minute. Would I do it again?? You have no idea how many more are in the works. Stay tuned...
