Bought this resin kit off of Evil Bay, to use as an enhansment for some of my future Sherman builds.

There's allot of clean up on this kit, but the details should more than make up for it.

Just have to do the brake hydraulics, then ready for paint and cals.

Sorry to disappoint but I believe that this trailer is a post war variant used in Vietnam. I have a photo of two of these being towed by a M113. The M8 and M10 armored trailer were what used in WW2

Nice job of the kit though.

Can you show me what the differences are between the two? The WWII pics look exactly like it.

Think you're right. Sorry guys. The markings are wrong now and it doesn't belong here, so will probably remove the thread.

I'm not that familiar with the ammo trailers so I couldn't comment one way or the other about accuracy.It does give us a purty paint job to look at

Sorry to be a barer of bad news!! Feel a bit of a know it all!! Verlindens trailer is an M332 ammo trailer and the WW2 version is a M10 ammo trailer. At first glance they are very similar. I feel into same trap as you.

Hey Fish nice M10/M332 or whatever ammo trailer...either way the work you did on it is top notch and being a Verlinden kit just adds to your skill as these often are...ah lacking.
Good job bro!

Hey threadbear no problem pointing this sort of thing out. One of the main goals here is to increase everyone knowledge as long as people post supporting evidence like what you did in your last post its all good and informative. BTW I have "The New Tiger Designs" M10 ammo trailer and it is sweet!

Nice score Fish, The tank trailer is WWII, the cargo trailer is post war.

Celticwerks has correct wheels for them.
