Here's another look at the Peterbilt heavy haul truck tractor and
low bed combination from Canadian modeler Mark Kulak. The truck is
a Promotex
frame that was painted blue with added low bed ramps, step boxes and
mud
flaps.
Mark
added Herpa float tires, wide load signs, light bar,
light strips under the door, and headache rack. The trailer
started as a Top Dog Models trailer that has been extensively modified.
Mark lowered the jeep and trailer, added low profile tires, chrome
wheels, lights, wide load signs, mud flaps etc. The jeep
(piece between the truck and low bed) had to be modified
so the neck was lower to the ground. He then built a set of ramps on
it and a tower with the fifth wheel plate. Load is a Herpa Liebherr
954 excavator. Shown here on Mark's very crowded truck stop
diorama. Also shown in Photo
Galleries 181 and 184.
