any plans for whats going behind it?

Thank you dieseldawg ! I'm going to try Navy Blue, and I will see if I can find the pic of the one I like. If I am correct, Tamiya incorporated several different trucks into one. I could also make it a Kenworth, but I've chosen a Peterbuilt.

And I think for starters a 53 ft cargo trailer.

I like this one..
