With the M1088 tractor available, what´s the designation of the semitrailer pictured?

I guess that there is no kit of it in 1/35 scale?

Semitrailer, Tank: 5000 Gallon, Fuel Dispensing, Automotive, M969

I guess this one is OOP…

Would it be possible to modify this one somehow:

Unlikely, because the shape of the tank is round, not oval.

Actually, it’s quite oval:

Now, whether or not it’s the correct shape oval. That’s another question. The 1/25 AMT Fruehauf tanker is round.

With the M1088 now available, maybe Real Model can do a re-run ?

I know the HobbyLink has 2 tanker trailers that might convert. Wayne

It could be done with this one, but would need a lot of work. The biggest issue is the step up at the front and smaller front oval.

I did similar with this exact trailer to make the larger M1062 Bult Fuel Trailer.

Maybe, but they are the older M131 Vietnam-era fuel trailer and have a totally differently shaped tank.

Maybe. If they do, I hope they update the molds or go w/a 3D print instead. I have one and it is really rough and will take a lot to get it all cleaned up and looking right.

Thanks Gino, didn’t realize the tanks were that different. Always learning on here. Wayne

I’ve tried modifying it in the past, but you can only get the 7500-gallon tank M1062

I am working on the Hobby Link fuel tanker. It needs some sanding but that goes with 3D models. I have to say it’s a great kit and the detail and fit are spot on.

Aye to that Gino, I opened an M127 trailer from RM awhile back. Warped piece of scrap.
