The trailer is a scratch build and the tractor is home cast resin cab with a modified M 925 chassis. I really don't have any plans. I build them from photos and memory (hauled a lot of these). I can give you the measurements in inches on a rough diagram. Not very good in drawing things. the tractor parts are made from resin and Evergreen plastic stock. The trailer is made completely from evergreen plastic stock. The wheels and springs are made of resin castings from my molds. The fifth wheels are made from a master that I scratch built and now cast.

I have a 1/35 scale ruler that converts feet into 1/35 . It makes it very easy. If you have the measurements of something you can convert it.

Where did you get the 1/35 scale ruler? I got it at my local Hobby Town USA store. It is manufactured by the C.T.T. Inc out of Dallas Texas.You can scale items down in inches, feet and meters. Makes life a lot easier for scratch building |
