Cattle Truck

cattle truck1

The Cattle truck for Blue skies was built from the Revell  model kit for the Honest John Missle hauler, like a couple of others already in use on the layout as the Trash hauler and the Logging truck . The trailer was lowered and extended, with strip plastic making up the body.  The roof is removable.

I made just one driving set of wheels for the tractor instead of the two it came with.

Plastic strip is the material for the trailer horizontal and plastic extruded shaped for the supports .

The fuel tank is covered in Aluminum foil for the real “ Aluminum ” look.

MDP paint is used for all the  paint except the front grill where I used some Floquill old silver, of which I still have.
