Air Liquide Freightliner Truck Tractor & Cryogenic Tank Trailer - By Denis Doucet


Denis Doucet built this Air Liquide cryogenic trailer using a scratchbuilt chassis, rear cabinet, cabinet under the tank and a tank body from Herpa. The landing gear is a modified Truck N' Stuff part with wheels from Promotex and tires from Herpa. The truck tractors (day cab above, flat roof sleeper below) were both built from Malibu Freightliner Columbia models with Dennis Aust wheels and tires and fuel tanks and chassis from a Promotex Ford to get the air bag suspension. Denis modified the mud flaps and scratchbuilt the quarter fenders. A Jacobs Models grille replaced the generic Malibu grille.
