Hi Jerry, One more fun project👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. I came to love AMT, they are really challenging kits, way harder than a Tamiya and more fun too (for me). The great thing about lighting the trailer is that you have plenty of room inside to put all the wiring, batteries, etc... Talking about AMT and trucks, I'm finishing the Kenworth Alaskan hauler. This is a long love story, I was drooling in front of the toy store when I was a kid😍, at that time, in France, it was a Matchbox kit, It's so bad ass with the chains, the diamond plate fenders and the big bumpers, a mix between Mad max and the Spielberg's movie "Duel" (I put the iconic Farrah Fawcett poster and a topless calendar from 1973 inside the cabin 😊, reduced and printed on photo paper). I'm not sure what it will pull, it could be a logging trailer, a bit boring, or perhaps a lowboy with a (dirty and rusty) Caterpillar on it, that would be cool (there is an AMT kit of the combo trailer + caterpillar, but that's a bit pricey $80 or so, perhaps). See you next time👋🏻.

Thank you for watching! Wow, the Alaskan Hauler is also on my radar! That is a beautiful kit! Bye the way, I would love to have a kit of the truck from Duel!!!! I also love the poster idea! Very creative!! =-)

@@TrekFanNCC-1701 I looked-up for that truck, it's a Peterbilt 1958 and sadly, it doesn't exist in 1/25☹
