Thanks for sharing. I've seen that UV activated glue but I've never tried it: I'll definitely be picking some up. Also, Trailer looks great! have a great week. -David
I'm currently doing this kit and having done several other trailer builds, this one was actually the best one I've worked on. It does require a bit of space to work on it. Not quite finished as I still have the hoses to go on. One thing not clear in the instructions is where all those hose connectors, parts #48, go on the trailer. They show where two of them go on the bottom but the others are pretty much guess work. Other builders have noted that as well. I'll see how the hoses hold using regular superglue, if not at least I know now there is a solution! Thank you!
The hoses were definitely tricky 🤔 but then again, it’s on the bottom of the trailer. Make it look good from the top and you’ll be happy with it 👍 Thanks for stopping by!
Hahahahahaha! A different buddy build for sure! The AMT trailer looks great! Definitely pros and cons to each kit. The semi-tractor is a long way off 🤣
Hey Mike. This is the trailer that I'm going to be pairing with my Chevy Bison semi for the " portable parking lot " build that I'm working on. Your version looks really good, by the way.
Many thanks! My advice would be to pre-assemble as much as possible, it’s pretty straightforward. Mine had pretty hefty seam lines. Best of luck, I look forward to seeing it on your channel! 👍
nicely done my friend, love your logo on it, spare tires under the carrier too. Yes i occasionally use UV glue, works fantastic in certain situations. Gorrilla glue is a tad pricy here, starts at $15 for the smallest tube and goes up $$ from there. Cheers and nicely articulated final...
Hi!I already build 2 of these Trailers and i only used the normal Revell Contacta Professional!Nothing else!No problems!And i used real wire from an old Mousecable for the hydraulic lines!Drilled holes to stick them in!Done!Cyanoacrylate glue!
I print my own license plates so that they are from my home state and in from the year of the car. I always use the elementary school stick glue to attach them to the car. So far, it's been several years and they're still fully attached and no yellowing. That stick glue is good stuff. I also use it with dollar store aluminum foil to do my bare metal foil. I think it works better than bare metal foil and it's washable with water. The chrome I did using that method is also several years old and still in place.
Thank you! This was the only UV glue available at 6pm on a Sunday night at Home Depot. Not ideal, but I made it work. I’ll have to keep an eye out for the Bondic, thanks!
Thanks Tom! You’re right, it’s always best to have the proper tool at your disposal! The UV glue may not be right for every project, but it sure fit my needs this time around 👍
Looks good. I really like uv glue, it has a ton of uses. I've even used it, a plastic circle from a hole punch, and a piece of wire to make a side motor.
I built one of these to go behind an AMT Freightliner DD, painted to match, for a fictional transport company, and it's loaded with all 1970 model year Plymouths, on its way to a fictional Chrysler-Plymouth dealership. It goes together well, and looks great when done. That green bottle Tamiya glue on your bench is what I've sworn by for over 10 years. I've built some real turds over the years like the AMT '65 Mustang Funny Car, and the Heller Porsche 917k, which is truly a terrible kit. Both look great when done but are more of a pain in the ass than a barbed wire toilet seat. Never had Tamiya's glue let go, and had something come apart. The only times I use CA or "super glue" is on resin kits and parts.
The Tamiya glue is my absolute go-to for unpainted parts ever since I left the Testors tube glue behind 😆 The super glue is almost a must for painted parts, but still no match for the Tamiya. The ‘70!Plymouths is an awesome idea, I love it! Thanks for stopping by 👍
Great job on that trailer Mike, Im currently working on an AMT trailer myself. Nice save on the hoses. I have to get glue system. I like the way you mounted your logo. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
@@ScaleSpeedworks I'm slowly building my fleet up, I've already built an old Autocar all rusty and everything, and that has my fleet colors, as when the company has started in the story, as I build the trucks the colors will change slightly, as a truck's get newer, I've built a little boy using one of the colors, I have built a custom shop truck with the newer colors, slightly damaged and beat up as it is a shop truck and use it as such lol, I have several trucks and several trailers to build, I've even made my own decals using the abbreviation BSC hauling company, and some with my logo and full name, I do have a video of the little boy trailer and the Autocar truck being built on my channel, I'm hoping soon to get back into doing more of my fleet, and will eventually be building the 70 Chevelle mascot car of my logo. Love watching everything you do on your channel keep up the great work my friend. If you ever want to do a body build on a big rig let me know.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by 👍 Check out Chuck’s video on the AMT, see which one fits your needs better, this thing is huge! But still worth it 😆
@@ScaleSpeedworks I did watch Chuck's video and I found it to be okay but I like the one you built better. Both of them will do so I may just build both...😂 LLAP 🖖

Very true! It is a large display piece, but if you fill it with cars, it shouldn’t take up much more room than the cars themselves. It’s worth the time and effort 👍
Read through the directions 2x or more. Glue as many pieces together as possible and paint everything all at once. This is no more complicated than an average car build, it’s just bigger! You can totally pull this one off 😉
looking at all the detail, I 'm liking the builds and I will say you gave me a new appreciation for Ford Mustangs. great job!
Thank you very much!

Transporter looks great Mike. Like how Chuck built the AMT and you went with Revell. Look forward to the tractor semi build.😊

I might give that glue a chance.

Good to know! It was a cheap and easy solution when the decal paper didn’t work out 😆
Really nice work. The UV glue seems to be great stuff. I already had some on my Amazon shopping list. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! The UV glue definitely has its uses. It’s not ideal for everything, but I found this was a perfect case and excuse for it’s use 👍
The trailer looks Great. I like to use Bondic UV glue. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing

Looks great buddy, I have 2 of them to build on my channel. I need them for my BSC Hauling Trucks. Keep up the great work.

Nice job. I've had that kit in my stash for years. I plan on building it one of these days. Only problem is it's big and no place to put it.
Very true! It is a large display piece, but if you fill it with cars, it shouldn’t take up much more room than the cars themselves. It’s worth the time and effort 👍
real nice.
Much appreciated!
I gotta get some of that UV glue.. I bet it tastes awesome 🤪
😆 LOL!!
Ive akways wondered about those ultra violet glues. Looks like it maybe worth it
I found a use for it. It may not be the best solution for every job, but it works here 👍
Looks great, I've got that kit. I'm Scared to build it.
Read through the directions 2x or more. Glue as many pieces together as possible and paint everything all at once. This is no more complicated than an average car build, it’s just bigger! You can totally pull this one off 😉
Since you've already bought the kit, you have nothing to lose. Go for it!
It's a beautiful kit we don't want to get F.U.B.A.R
@@bkmodelcars tackle it when you’re ready, go slow. I have faith you can pull it off 🤞
I always use Gorilla super glue on all my models.
The liquid control / thin glue is a must have!
It's a hobby and notva race, besides uv glue goes brittle over time..."pop"!👎
I wasn’t aware the UV glue gets brittle, good to know! I wonder if it can be reinforced with super glue after it cures? Thanks!
