Model Great Dane Flat Bed 1-25 - AMT

An American Extendable Flatbed Trailer

The AMT model reproduces a Great Dane extendable flatbed trailer, designed for the transportation of long and bulky loads.

Its main feature lies in its chassis, the length of which can be adjusted. This allows you to display the trailer in different configurations depending on the load or the scene of your diorama.

A Kit with Over 150 Pieces

With over 150 pieces, this Great Dane model offers a detailed enough assembly to represent the characteristic structure of an American trailer.

The parts are molded in white and black, while the tires are made of vinyl. The kit comes with a decal sheet including the "Wide Load" markings.

Assembly requires the usual supplies for a plastic model: glue suitable for plastic, cutting pliers, file or sandpaper, and painting materials.

To achieve a clean result, I recommend cleaning the parts, dry-fitting the main components, then painting the sub-assemblies before final assembly when it facilitates access to details.

An Extendable Chassis to Showcase

The extendable system is the distinctive element of this trailer.

The flatbed and rear part allow for modifying the model's configuration.

This feature can be utilized during assembly to represent a trailer ready to transport a particularly long load.

The History of the Great Dane Trailer

The scale model is inspired by an American Great Dane trailer designed for the transportation of heavy and long loads.

Great Dane is an American manufacturer specializing in semi-trailers. The model reproduces the characteristics of an extendable flatbed trailer of the GPES-40-65 type.

AMT reference 1111 incorporates tooling from the history of Ertl models.

This origin will interest collectors of American heavy-duty vehicles and 1/25 scale trailer kits representing classic American road vehicles.

A Model Suitable for Heavy-Duty Dioramas

This 1/25 Great Dane model can be paired with an American tractor trailer at the same scale.

It naturally fits into a diorama dedicated to exceptional transport, construction sites, or material transportation.

The extendable configuration also allows for varying the model's presentation and imagining different types of loads.

Paint and Finish

For finishing, you can choose a new and clean presentation or replicate a trailer that has already been in service on American roads.

A light weathering on the flatbed, chassis, and tires enhances the realism of a diorama.

The Wide Load decals provide the necessary markings for a scene of transporting a bulky load.
