The Fruehauf reefer trailer is a classic of American trucking, and AMT's 1/25 scale kit does it full justice. This 157-part build captures the Watkins Motor Lines livery with an expanded water-slide decal sheet and packs in enough working detail to keep experienced modelers busy — rear doors that swing open to reveal a detailed interior floor and body panels, a detailed refrigerator unit with expansion tank and control boxes, F-2 tandem suspension, and a 2-position support assembly that lets you build it raised and ready-to-roll or lowered for static display.
At 20 inches long when finished, this is a substantial shelf piece that pairs naturally with any 1/25 scale cab kit in your collection.
