It’s been a while, but we are glad to present a brand New issue of

Details that Matter!

I may be alone here, but I have always felt the allure of the beautiful Great Barrier Reef and the wonder surrounding some of the odd creatures that are native to Australia. And while the beautiful landscape and rich history of this island nation continue to capture the imaginations of many, in the end, they are just like us in that where there is a product that needs to be moved, there will be semis to do the hauling!

We’re pleased to present a brand new 1/50 scale model: Drake’s P&S Haul-Em - Kenworth T909 Prime Mover with Drake 2x8 Dolly and 4x8 Swingwing Trailer. (Item #ZT09031)

Straight from one of Australia’s premier logistics and trucking companies, Drake delivers us this incredibly detailed replica!

The life of any semi starts with the cab, and that is where we begin our look at this beautiful Kenworth.

In keeping with the precision and comfort of its life-sized counterpart, you can take a look around inside the cab through the working doors on either side of the model. You can even see the molded bucket seats from the outside of the cab!
From the realistic tread on the tires, to the intricately detailed headlights and the “Suzie” brake connections on the back of the tractor, all the way down to the ventilation holes on the smoke stacks, every aspect of this model has been crafted to reflect the true depth of the work invested in the production of this handsome truck!

So, as we continue our journey along this T909 we come to the Drake Dolly (as you can see from the inscribed plaque on the side)!

With its attention to such essential details as the security chains, which are so necessary in the real trucks, this part of the model delivers much of the same quality collectors have come to expect from the Drake line.


 
Oh, and don’t forget to check out how the realistic suspension on the dolly allows the wheels to pivot!

Have you ever been driving down a highway and seen a house moving at 65 miles per hour?

As we move back along the model, we can see that this T909 has been paired up with  an incredibly realistic trailer that  has perfect warning signs for carrying such a load!

As you can see, the metallic royal blue and silver color scheme adds to the uniformity of this truck, and the intricacy of the details on the hitch are nothing short of astounding!

Now that we’ve taken a look at some of the amazing features of this model, you may be asking, “How can I get my hands on this truck?”

Drake’s P&S Haul-Em - Kenworth T909 Prime Mover with Drake 2x8 Dolly and 4x8 Swingwing Trailer is available now from b2bReplicas. This new release is sure to grab the attention of your customers, just like the real trucks!
