(10/6/18), This is part 1 of a 3 part model project. The tractor AMT620 (HobbyLinc) will be coupled with an AMT 880/06 drop deck trailer (out of production) hauling the AMT 1086/06 construction bulldozer (HobbyLinc). As of this writing, the other two parts are not yet completed.

The tractor is airbrushed with Krylon brush on hobby paint custom mixed. The trailer will be the same color.

I felt it necessary to make hoses/cable from the tractor to the trailer when complete.

I used 22ga. bell wire.

Attaching the completed cab was not easy. But it works and tilts just fine.

Since the road grader blade is actually 6" wide, it will hang over the trailer sides and require "Wide Load" markings. One of these is rotating amber lights on the top of the cab (in a real world situation).

And another is a WIDE LOAD banner across the front of the tractor (and the rear of the trailer).

I replicated a truck that used to run the roads years ago. COE tractors are rarely seen these days. This one would be from Chadderton Trucking of Sharon, PA. They are near where I live.

This tractor was a very good project and relatively easy to assemble. Directions are the pits!!
