The rear of the truck really steals the show! I never realized how busy it is. Excellent work! Keep it up.

Great work!

Unless you are going to pull the trailer with it you might want to erect the A-frame boom for an even more busy look on the rear!

This is only slightly off topic

As we all know the small crane boom that is usually shown erected on the back of the M26 is for handling the extreme weight when de-mounting the spare tire.

However did you also know that this same boom is intended to be errected at several locations around the DW trailer to assist in changing flat tires? Tamiya chooses to fill these location holes with screws to better secure the hiden metal supports within the plastic body of the trailer. However if you glue the trailer together carefully you can forego these screws and drill out these structures to accept the boom!

Interesting dios could result!

Be sure to check out this neat trick for making flat tires. This could be perfect for the rubber tires that come with the Dragon Wagon kit!

Here are photos showing the boom crane installed in two of the four locations on the trailer. C:]--
