I'm looking for a WWII US cargo trailer. It is meant to be behind a M8, so nothing too big and nothing too small.

Any kits that would match my needs?

I guess this isn't the best advert for my small scale model database, but it's not complete yet!

Either the hasegawa us jeep kit has a trailer or the airfix M3 halftrack kit has a trailer. Although the last one is not of a very good quality.

Cheers,

The hasegawa jeep kit is a 1/4 ton trailer and the airfix kit is the 1 ton Ben hur Trailer.
You might try looking at milicast's website. They produce some of the best 1 /72 scale resin peices available.

Unless the Hasegawa kit has changed since the 70's, that kit isn't that good either!

It looks like Milicast has what I'm looking for, even though their kits are 1/76 scale, I'll manage! Thank you!

there is, off course, the new airfix jeep, which is a good kit and in 1/72. It comes with a trailer aswell.

Roco makes a couple of well detailed US trailers, but they may be a bit on the small size as they are 1/87 scale.
