Hey all,
in this thread I want to show you my second tractor. It´s a King Hauler, built with some left over parts.
First of all, I extendedthe frame by one tank-length.

This was just right to extend the sleeper by just cutting away the rear on one and the front on the other one!

After the sleeper was glued together and finished, I started to paint the whole cabin. First I liked the blue, but I´a m thinking about a different paint-scheme. I got some good Ideas here, let´s see!

The most important change on the boby was cutting away the original Tamiya frontlights and closing them with some plastic.
I replaced them with some frontlights from the Wedico Pete 359.

Then I built some mirror-holders by myself. Used some thin brass.tube, fatened at the ends, so I could drill the holes for the screws. The mirrors themselves are the original Tamiya ones.
