I always think I could never afford something like that. The price kills me. But when I think of how much time I would spend trying to scratch build something like that, and the cost of materials, I suspect It would be cheaper and faster to just go back to work and buy goodies like that Dragon Wagon. I'm gotta practice "Do you want fries with that?" or "Nuts and bolts are on aisle 6 Sir". It might be worth a try.

I hear ya Rex.

I still think it wouldn't have killed the guy to have taken a photo from the side, at least of the cab, tractor section...

This was built using Tamiya 1/14 parts for 1290€ I would have thought this could be replicated for less most of the conversion is in the body of the tractor unit and most likely a scratch built trailer using off the shelf alloy, I think the reason why there is no side shots is it would possibly give away the donor chassis
