Does anyone know of any modern US army trailer kits?
Such as M-149 400 gal. "water buffalo"
M-101 3/4 ton
M-105 1 1/2 ton

Drove by the local reserve Center (forgetful me) They've got a m105 & m-149 parked outside..... Took some Photos & measurements. (They don't have a fenced in area for vehicles & don't mind if I take Photos & measurements) I'll get a frient to turn the tank on a Lathe.
I need to find some Structural brass for the frames.

Those bothe be the WWII versions. The "new" M-149 has a round tank the old one was oval.
The kit is ok but not much is salvageable (if you can find it I believe Kit 229)
