International 9400 & 50' Drop Deck Trailer - By Ken Ensign


Ken Ensign built this rig using a Malibu International die cast truck tractor. The fuel tank fairings have been removed and front fenders reworked. The frame is modified and stretched. The battery box/tool boxes were modified pieces from the parts bin and the fuel tanks are scratched from the body of an ink pen. The cab protetection was scratchbuilt and the steps and deck are cut from a sheet of "N" scale brick to appear as deck plating. Paint is flat black, primer grey and gold, all clear coated. The trailer is a 50 foot drop deck with a 10 foot upper all scratchbuilt except the rear bumper. The decking is 1/8 inch masking tape.
