Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three

[Kaf343]

Well, I took a brake for a while, sold off just about everything I had built but my Triple three Izzy toy hauler. So I decided to build a new tractor to pull it around with. Seems not many guys liking the Cascadia but since my brother drives one I thought I'd build one. Stretched it a bit, added a axle, painted to match my trailer and added a few LED's. Trailer has it's own reciever and battery, both trailer and tractor are bound together.

Just made up some styrene rear fenders, still need to paint em to complete.
