Ferrari Hauler

I finished this one in April of 09. Revell kit that was built OOB.

That's cool. Where did you get the decals?

They were part of the kit, Buck

Jeez, that's one cool set up! Luv the truck and engine, great color. Now about the lack of aerodynamics . . .

Italian Red looks good on damn near anything. Fine looking rig.

And as for aerodynamics, a quote re the F-4 Phantom "a triumph of thrust over aerodynamics."


Cheers,

That's a great looking truck Paul. Nice building too.
How long is it?

Al, it's 26 inches. Here's a 1/25 Nascar for comparison.

That is a stunning build! Love tractor trailers and this is one I'm gonna have to add to my list of kits to build. You did a great job and it looks ready to work! Keep them beauts comin'! 8)

Thanks for the picture Paul. That is a kit I have never seen.

Truck looks great. I agree that anything looks great in Ferrari Red!

Actually aerodynamics of cab-overs is not too bad. Care must be taken on the shape of the front corners, but if done properly, they can equal conventional tractors. Essentially you move the air once, versus moving it a number of time with a conventional. The main thing is to get the air off of the front of the trailer, and smoothly transition it to the sides and top of the trailer. Chassis side fairings are good, and this is where this truck falls short.

Details, details!!!

I have the Yahmaha race team version. Those are beautiful kits.

Hi Mr 2whl,

You have done a brilliant job with this, she really is a stunner (even with the Fiatari decals )...
