After buying a stock tamiya kit and realizing that it was way to short I decided to build my own trailer from scratch. I got a set of rails from Rod and went from there!

Nice work, Brian!
Especially like the rear bumper and tail light treatment -
are you using lenses, or LED's?

Brain, the trailer looks great. It still looks a little short, but only because the 379 is so long! :D Both are really sharp looking models. Makes for a really nice trailer/truck combo.
