Re: optimus prime transformers
No I understand that, I just meant the tandems were very far forward almost to far forward to look scale. To me they look a little to far forward in relation to the landing gear. I'm a huge fan of this build so far since I was an owner operator with a utility reefer, not many guys do the custom owner operator looking reefers, especially the stainless wagons or the spread axels.

Re: optimus prime transformers
yea thats true but if you look at the movie trailer the tandems are slid forward so that is the look iam going for i used the tamiya reefer body for the length and the regular box trailer chassis in order to get this effect..thanks for looking and commenting i appreciate it

Re: optimus prime transformers
Yea man I hear you, I'm not that skilled yet eitger thats why I'm trying to plot out my reefer build still. I must say Tamiya really doesn't make it easy for us American truck fans LOL. Your stainless optimus reefer is looking great, keep it up. I'm dying to see the tractor....
