Ok, guys, here it is. I've finally gotten things to the point that I can get started. Looks like I have about two months to get this beast done.
Wish me luck!

Ronnie, well done! Does anyone know if the Iraqis had this beast in their inventory? I'd bet they did, in some form....

Great Job Ronnie!
Welcome Larry.
I will be sticking to the Maz as I still do not have the PE for the trailer of the Het nor the transfer case.
Cheers Rob.

Rob, I have my HET kit sitting, and I've picked up the Real Model goodies for it. I have the PE CPK from real, the engine, Trans case, radio and Duke antennas, chains and binders from German guys, and a S load of resin tires, however, no Voyager or ET trailer details! I'm actually more fired up to the M26 DW now, and the kit looks very nice. I actually the Tank Workshop resin kit of the M26 many years ago, and it was a blast to do. A
nyway, keep it up with the Maz, I'm really liking it a lot! I have a sick fascination with support and engineer type equipment, so this campaign kind of gets me going, now all I gotta do is find some time to get building again!
Take care,
Larry

Hey Ronnie, thanks for the reply. I wouldn't doubt if they did actually have them, but I haven't seen any pics that verify my suspicions. I know that they used other tank transporter systems, and some civilian type tractors, but I can't say that the Maz was in the inventory. If anyone can verify or help point me in the right direction, that would be great!
Thanks!
Larry

I'm a bit late to the party and not actually in time to build anything for this campaign, but I just wanted to say these all look amazing! Good luck with the Dragon Wagon Larry! I've built that one in the past and it sure was something! It's an absolute blast to build in my opinion but an awful big kit as I'm sure the rest of these are as well. I'll be watching this one!
I don't know what this little guy is, but I felt he also needed to be in here.

Nice find!
I have not heard of them before, I did find that HobbyBoss is releasing one as well.
Cheers Rob.

Perhaps that explains why Accurate Armour quickly discontinued their IDF Diamond T transporter. Hmmm....

Gordon thanks for the support on the DW. I built the Tank Workshop resin models many years ago for an article in MMIR. It was an interesting build at the time. The Tamiya model came out several years later. I picked the kit up a few years ago and have been sitting on it pondering what to do with it. I'm currently waiting on the Eduard PE sets for the tractor and trailer to show up at the house so I can buckle down and get this thing done. My next decision is to determine what load to build up for the trailer. I guess I can get a bunch of prep work done before my brass shows up to kinda save some time on the back side. It'll be a cool project, I'm sure!

Hi Rob.
Would a railway flatbed used to transport tanks be allowed?
Cheers
Warren

Hi Warren,
Yes, it did transport Tanks!
I am afraid that I may not get anything done for this, life has left little time at the moment and on top of that all the PE for my kit went missing spent the better part of the last week looking for it.
Cheers Rob.

Is it too late to start asking for an extension?
