So..... MNTrailers applied all the graphics, or you did, or you did the Volvo, and they did the trailer?? I'm so confused. 😬 😬 😬

MNTrailers did the trailer and Road Kings does the Tractor. Here is a photo in the display case showing both the Team Lotus and Ferrari teams. I also added some jack stands in the Lotus display to raise the Team Lotus livery car.
In the 1982 season Lotus ran the Lotus 87B in the first race of the season before switching to the Lotus 91 full ground effects car. The Lotus 87B is on the raised trailer ramp, the Lotus 91 with the crew members working on it was the car used in the Las Vegas race, the rear cowling was not used to dissipate heat. The Team Lotus livery car was used at the British Grand Prix because of their laws on cigarette advertising.

Team Lotus Hauler & Ferrari Hauler
The Lotus hauler is from 1978 and the Ferrari hauler is from 1988, you can see how the trailers were changing over the decade difference.
I had the TISSOT WATCHES put in place of Olympus Cameras because my Lotus cars are from the 1981 and 1982 seasons and Olympus Cameras was not a sponsor on the cars but Tissot Watches was a sponsor along with John Player Special.
