cool looking truck , I was wondering also about the undercarriage of the trailer. how you put all the axles in there so a couple pic's will reveal the secret.

Hi ! Thank you for the comments . I will take pics of the UNDER part of the trailer but like I wrote it is not very nice it could have been better and nicer but to a certain extent there is a limit on detailing and I decided to glue the suspension with JB weld and the connection to the frame and the cross bar are note the nicest because the suspension melted on 4 different places , anyway tonight or tomorrow I will post some . The Frenchman edit on april 1st at22:00
