This is the
Pilot Freight Services International 9900 tractor with a 53' Dry
van trailer. It is item #P2101344
by Tonkin Replicas in
1/53 scale.
This exquisite
model is made high detail diecast metal with a few plastic
parts, like the wood floor on the inside of the trailer. It also
has moving rubber wheels.
The hood opens to
reveal the intricate detail of the engine.
Here is a shot of
the engine from the side. You can see that the entire engine has
been given great attention.
The grill and
front bumper have all the detail you would expect from a
Tonkin replica.
The top of the
cab and the doors open to show the cabin. It has a detailed
cabin and cozy sleeping quarters.
The cab is just
as detailed on the outside as it is on the inside. It has realistic looking
smokestacks, mirrors, wires, cables, and an excellent
undercarriage and chassis.
The trailer
features the Pilot Freight Services logos on the sides both
ends. The trailer doors open to show the detailed interior.
The trailer
features a functioning fifth wheel and hook ups.
As with the cab, Tonkin gave the
trailer its due diligence. Even the undercarriage features
little details that make all the difference.
