Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Red Ball Motor Freight Freightliner FL8642 Truck Tractor & 28' Doubles - By Fred Gruin


This Red Ball Motor Freight model set of doubles from Fred Gruin were made years ago.  The model features an Athearn Freightliner truck tractor with a set of scratchbuilt (of styrene) trailers. The decals were Microscale alphabets. Fred says he's been admiring Spaulding's 1/25 scale Red Ball decals for a few years and seeing some potential, finally bought a set. Fred took them to his local UPS Store and had them reduced on their color copier to HO size. Two sizes were produced, one for the tractor doors and a larger size for the trailers.
