Thats a box trailer made to look like a refer, the Tamiya one has 3 axles and smaller wheels but its still a excellent build.
I know that it's a Tamiya, but it said "coming soon".

You gotta be sure to post some pics of them when you're done. Any idea of how you're going to paint your Scania?

Looks nice. If I ever get the money and buy a MFU, I just might add lights like that.

The tractor uses Du-Bro nylon hinges for the doors, mostly used by flyers!

Here are some pics of my lowboy almost finished construction!

Makes all the pieces come together nicely and provides a good load for the tractor to pull.

That trailer is nice.

How hard was it to cut the doors?

I used a Dremel to cut the doors, not exactly the modelers way, but gets the job done!

The Dremel makes easy work of modeling.
