Well I finally finished my top secret master build Sunday morning and took it to our model club monthly meet and tied for 1st with a great friend and modeller! The truck is a Revell of Germany Can Do Wrecker Pete Tri axle with a scratch built bumper, airline box, headach rack, breather tops, cab and sleeper light pannels w/ no lights, headlights, front fender side pannels, rear fenders, tail pannel, cat walk, visor and pipes and elbows. The trailer is a 15 axle 150 ton heavy haul all scratch built! Total length is 7 foot and 11 inches and turned out amazing! Can't wait to do a bigger one lol! Thanks to my great friend and fellow modeller Randall for the decals on the trailer! The whole trailer is my own design due to the fact that I couldn't find enough measurements to make an exact replica. 74 tires and wheel. 64 on the trailer alone! 1/25 scale. I built the trailer in 46 hours and that includes paint! This truck and trailer is up for sale now and will be going on ebay soon. If anybody would like to order one pm me. You can order it as a kit that you build and paint or you can order it built. Pm me for any questions! There are a lot more options you can get for it than what you see in the pics! Just remember....make sure you got room, it's 7'11 lol! It does come apart in sections. For NachoZ Heres the pic I sed for a guidline. This is real and longer lol!

First off, very cool build! It is the longest model I have ever seen. I would hate to pack it up for a model show or if you sell it on e-bay . Now for my curious side.....is there anything like this in the 1:1 world? I seen similar trailers, just not that long. If there is something that long, what would you haul with it?

Thanks guys! Its not to bad to move because it comes apart. The worst part is the center section where the load goes! By itself it's almost 5 ft long! It was a lot of fun and very cool to see finished! I have it on ebay now for sale. My next project is bigger, wider and longer lol! Top secret hus hush lol! @ NachoZ I added a pic to the ones above of the real thing I used for ref.
