I built the Tank Workshop M123 tractor last year, and though it frequently towed light armor using a towbar, it just doesn't look right without the full trailer behind it.
Any ideas on a supplier for the M15A1 (Post-war to Viet Nam era)?

Sure - I have the Tank Workshop M15A1 Semi-Trailer. If you don't want theirs, I believe DES makes a resin A1 Semi-Trailer too.

The only one I know of is from DES Models. It's got a fat price tag but, considering you already purchased and built the M123, maybe the price on this beast isn't so bad.
It's about a $150. Eeek! :I

Thanks for the info. The photo helps a lot. The TW trailer should be available more readily than the DES, right? The tractor cost 110.00, and I'm not sure I can handle the price mentioned above! Might have to keep the tow bars handy!!

Also, Real Model makes the M15A1 conv.set for modern US trailer kit # 35081. Sorry, I don't know too much about it other than that it runs for about $40-$50 compared with Tank Workshops which runs around $120+

The Real models kit which I recently purchased is destined for the Tamiya trailer. Many guys are willing to sell theirs off at a fair price if you ask so.. I ordered the DEs Kit item but that was two years ago and I finally gave up hope of seeing it one day and setttled on the next best option. The conversion looks pretty decent.
