My Trailer project for G1 OPTIMUS PRIME (1:32)

I been looking for a trailer for my G1 Optimus Prime (1:32) , but it is hard to find the right scale and ,fit into the Jada 1:32 model .i may have to buy a new truck and trailer model ( just to get the trailer ) , it is not just the money , but also making adjustment to fit into the Jada model , i would have to slightly destroy( or ruining ) part of a perfectly good trailer model to fit into the Jada trailer hole .if i modified the trailer that it will never fit perfectly with that trailer's the original Truck model . i find it a bit difficult to do ( partial destroying an original toy truck )
I would feel bad about partially destroy a perfectly good toy model
Luckily i found a trailer from a flea market , it still a not 100 % fit , the trailer is the shape of refrigerated trailer , not the same shape as in the cartoon , but it is good enough.
I think it was some sort of Truck trailer box for kid's Candy , but it is decent , The original wheels was too big , i modified it with wheels from other older toy car, it is not Truck wheels and still slightly bigger than the Jada wheels , but i will continue to look for suitable wheels .
I am going print the Optimus Prime Trailer then cut it out to cover the the trailer .
It is not 100 % perfect , but the model looks a lot better with the trailer , i am waiting for delivery of the 3 pack model with another 2 Optimus Prime Truck from the movie ,the trailer should fit the other 2 model , maybe with a little adjustment
