Default Flatbed for the 379!

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!







custom built ICC bumper







some outside shots




These are some pics of the IR light kit installed in the trailer.

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! Both are really sharp looking models. Makes for a really nice trailer/truck combo.

Really nice looking trailer, I was wondering where I could get a set of those rails.
