Another trailer but much older made in white metal and resin.
the box
the contents
instructions & date
the metal bits
the resin bits
The instructions show variants for a canvas cover trailer and the Stug ammo carrier, a fore runner of the Plusmodel.
The pieces are well molded with some clean up, but it will do the job, and as we are now all multi media modelers with brass these days,
white metal shouldn't be too difficult to deal with.
I have an Andrea white metal figure set as one of the mystery boxes in the figure GB, so I will get some practice, one way or an other!
I caught this as part of a bundle, with an ICM 1/35 Maultier, a tristar 20mm Flak and the trailer for £16, absolute bargain
The bundle will be a ready made scenario with some mixed figures for a late war diorama, one day.
The more reviews we all enter, especially the unusual and older kits, the more chance of catching those modelers researching kit reviews.
I am up for adding more, and will be in the attic hunting out the next one.
Hope this has been useful for anyone seeing one and wondering
"What is in the box?"

Nice Steve!
Logistics are really an overlooked field of supreme importance... maybe we should do a "logistics" GB next year?

Great idea Raoul
Another modeler's nemesis would be a base/building GB too
I would be up for it
In fact the figure GB is already pushing the envelope with a base using new materials and skills too
Thoughts anyone?

A logistics GB I would be up for, the M548 (cargo version of the M113) would be my pick. NZ Army used them with a soft and hard top version. A building and base to complete would be ace!Steve Hutchinson wrote:Great idea Raoul
