Tandem Metal Car Trailer

holes in leaf springs where screw goes is too big or they didn't taper it, so screws slide right through it. there were no washers included not even on the parts list , so i have to come up with some way to hold them on the pieces to hold wheels to leaf springs have to be pressed on using a vise suppose to have taillights they were not in the bag or box not a bad kit , just have to do some modifying or could bring it back to the hobby store where i purchased it. will probably keep it.

This little trailer was just what I needed to complete a diorama that included an old pickup and an old race car. It worked well for my purposes and assembly was a breeze. It's really sturdy because a lot of the trailer is made of metal; however, that also adds weight when attaching it to a plastic model. Like a real trailer, one has to account for trailer tongue weight or else the towing vehicle will be in a permanent wheelie! The metal construction also makes it somewhat more difficult to add effects like aging, dents and wear from usage. Different techniques have to be applied to achieve the same effects possible on plastic models. Overall, it is a good buy and the price is right. While I'm sure there were sound reasons for using metal instead of plastic, but for the sake of weight, I think I would have preferred plastic.

this is nice little trailer for the price. it has a metal deck with plastic ramps and springs. it has metal axle pins and vynal tires. the detail is a little lacking for the purist and may be a turnoff for any plastic enthusiast but overall its not bad. its a great alternative for a newer modeler that doesnt yet have the skills to scratch build a trailer
