Cool! I figured somebody must have tried it somewhere. That looks great. It
must not be done as an alternate since the trailer seems to use pieces that
aren't from those sets. It would be neat if somebody could do it while sticking
to the pieces from both sets. That way with instructions anybody who owns those
two sets can build it. One could get away with using a smaller watercraft
freeing up pieces from 4402 for use in the trailer.
Thanks for the link!
Regards,
Paul
