1/50th Sliding Cement Mixer Trailer

This represents what is called a 'Sliding Mixer System', or SMS Cement Mixer Trailer in the concrete industry. It's used to pull a large load to a site, and it can extend or close....so as to allow for maneuverability on the job site but axle length and a better ride on the highway. There are plenty of operational aspects to this, notably the slider. Bear in mind it's lightweight plastic, and although there are guides in place, the weight may tip up the back end. Replace all pins where possible with stronger materials. The two hole keeper ovals go on either side of the main chute and feeder chute to join them but allow the feeder to flip. These are press fit, so test fit and clean where needed to ensure operation. I've included extas of course just in case. The main chute will swivel, the drum will spin. There are four 4' long chutes you can stack on the fender or use for active type display.  Should there be any questions or comments, contact me via the designer link or via email to modelmechanic@gmail.com
