Wow, that's awesome! Gotta love the 'flames' on that thing!! I had no idea this was a kit. I'd love to build one of these some day, but the stash is still pretty full yet. Hmmmm..... I did just give away about 7 or 8 kits last night.... perhaps there is room for one more big box..??....

Very, very nice.
AMT make a low-loader, which would be excellent for displaying another truck on. I have seen a few of these trailers on eBay. Or why not a road-train?

Cheers,

I looked at that not to sure about it though , I found a site that might interest other truck builder , its an Australia site .
It has flat top trailers and several different type of AFTERMARKET TRAILERS 1:24 & 1:25 Scale Trailers . I think I will get a flat top trailer and put a car on the back and some freight as well , I think this will look good..will see what happens though..

I have a fire extinguishers that I am thinking about put on the back , will have to make up a bracket for it though .and does anyone have any ideas on what product will represent air line hoses Question [?]

..

Cheers and Thanks for your kind words guys Thumbs Up [tup]

Mike... that is an absolutely beautiful 'Starcar'.. I never really liked the lines of the WesternStar until now.Outstanding job my friend.That would certainly turn some heads (and prob cause a few wrecks!) going down the highway.

HEY,
You should make it pull one of those trailors that carry cars, that way you can put some of your finished cars on iy. Just an idea.

Now the problem is to find a flat top trailer , as anyone got any ideas...has to be 1/24..
