Review and Photos by Alan Mann \"Alan<\/a><\/p>\n

A semi-trailer is a trailer without a front axle. A large proportion of its weight is supported either by a tractor (Semi) or by a detachable front axle assembly known as a dolly. A semi-trailer is normally equipped with legs, called “landing gear”, which can be lowered to support it when it is uncoupled. Semi-trailers vary considerably in design, ranging from open-topped haulers to refrigerated enclosures known as Reefers. Semi-trailers are more popular for transport than full trailers, which have both front and rear axles. Ease of backing is cited as one of the semi’s chief advantages.<\/p>\n

For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the Re-Release (Re-Pop) of the AMT Fruehauf Flatbed Trailer by Round2. This is Kit #AMT617 in the current catalog and was released in 2009. AMT has released this kit countless times and it has been a popular kit over the \"1\"<\/a> years. It was originally seen first in the 70\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s during the boom of Big Rig models but has been a mainstay ever since. It is still as popular today as it was then. This is a 1:25 scale kit with a Skill Level 2 rating for Moderate Builders. It contains over 110 parts molded in White styrene with Vinyl tires. You get a vinyl hose and chain for the load and lines also. There is a highly accurate undercarriage featuring cross-members with angle-braced landing gear and a tandem axle configuration. The decals are quite detailed with rig decals and bonus items you will use on other builds. Overall built dimensions are: Length: 18-1\/2\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Width: 4\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Height: 2-1\/2\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Plan on some extra shelf space when paired with the tractor of your choice as you will top TWO FEET in length!<\/p>\n
