Has anyone seen just a trailer without truck (I'd like to use Iveco or Scania trucks)?
Thanks

I don't know if there are any 1:24 kits out there, I've never looked. But I would imagine with a little kitbashing you could make a 1:25 trailer work for 1:24. At the very least, you could transfer the dimensions of the trailer to strip stock of Plastruct shapes and make the chassis and frame from scratch, big enough for 1:24 cars, but use the detail parts like the hitch, wheels, tires, controls, diamond plate and whatever from the 1:25 kit.

:eek: :eek: :eek: Wonderfull transporter! I dream I could find it in France! (I don't have yet the necessary credit card to order at HLJ... :uhoh:) That's exactly the truck I was dreaming of, I didn't know it really existed... :biggrin:

The only car transporter I knew were great, indeed (american transporters...), but at 1/25e too, unfortunatelly...

I don't know whether there are any 1:24 packs out there, I've never looked. In any case, I would envision with a bit of kitbashing you could make a 1:25 trailer work for 1:24. In any event, you could exchange the measurements of the trailer to strip supply of Plastruct shapes and make the suspension and edge starting with no outside help, sufficiently enormous for 1:24 autos, however utilize the point of interest parts like the hitch, wheels, tires, controls, precious stone plate and whatever from the 1:25 pack.

to be fair, a search in 1999.co.jp after all these years didn't yield anything in 1/24 that's available. :)

I have used the 1:25 transporter for 1:24 cars and it works for most cars. Only wide cars like the ferrari Enzo,... I couldn't squeez in the lower parts. With a little bit of scratch building it should be possible.
