The official thetailwind fuselage is now available here at notthehoneyroasteadpeanut! (Previously found here https://www.ebay.com/itm/233560641274).
This kit includes:
1 Fuselage unpainted grey
1 Front Fuselage stand
1 Mid Fuselage stand
1 Cargo container unpainted grey
1 Front Fuselage guard
Platform is not included. It was used for reference. I do not have the scale flatcar to use, so I made these to scale.
There are now two lengths: An 11" fuselage for standard HO sizing and a 15.25" fuselage for layouts that accommodate oversized cargo.
Assembly consists of using your favorite adhesive to bond the kit to your preferred flat car. The model comes unpainted.
Total weight: 1 7/8oz
Height: 2" on top of flat bed height
The fuselage portion fits on a 89' flatbed. The cargo portion sits on a 60' flatbed.
