Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Freightliner FLD120 Truck Tractors - By Jim Groeneweg


Here's a pretty cool pair of Freightliner FLD120s from Jim Groeneweg. On the right is a 70" condo (from Jacobs Models) mounted on an Athearn chassis (modified) with all the usual details! A-Line supplied the steer tires and Dennis Aust the drives, rear half fenders were cut from a Herpa tanker, and the mufflers are from some die-cast out of the srcap box with aluminum tubes stacks. Chrome is a combination of Alclad and BareMetalFoil with base/clear auto paint topping the unit off! The flat top sleeper unit on the left is another Jacobs Models Freightliner that has most of the same detailing applied.
