Here is my version of the Smokey and the Bandit tractor trailer, it is a 1967 Peterbilt 379 with the MNtrailers Smokey and the Bandit Hobbs trailer, the Trans Am is from Ertl. The Bandit and the Snowman ride again.

@john-barry Those aren't really "builds." That is, the 1/18 Rig is by K&K Road Kings (I've featured a few ) and that trailer is made by a small company in Germany (I think). They make at least 6 different trailer styles to compliment these K&K Road Kings semi rigs.
A very cool set up for sure.... AND....1/18 "Smokey" figures have been available for quite some time now. VERY COOL for all the SATB fans!

To be clear the Peterbilt is from Road Kings, the Trailer is from MNtrailers out of Romania, this was a trailer they had in stock and it only took 7 days to ship from Romania to Florida. Packaged very well to protect the protect the product.

An update on the Smokey and the Bandit display, I found a good price on the black & gold Kenworth so I purchased it and put it with the trailer so now it matches the movie as close as you can get in 1/18 scale.
The red Peterbilt I have ordered another trailer that will be themed different and I am still waiting on the NASCAR Style Trailer to be finished and shipped. The trailer for the Peterbilt will be shipped this Wednesday.
Here is the Finished Smokey and the Bandit Display shelf with the black & gold Kenworth W900.

A few years ago the Bandit Club contacted me to see if they could visit my collection. I was very honored and said yes. On the day of the visit, on the street in front of my house was replica of this truck and trailer and over thirty Trans Ams. My house is on a lake and the street is usually very quiet with people walking their dogs or riding bikes...that day there must have been over 100 people looking at the truck and the cars. Love the model John.
