I have a question...I know Revell of Germany (and a few others) makes the 1/72 FAMO half track. But does anyone make the trailer to hook up to the back? If not, mabye a source for wheels that are close and 1/72 line drawings of it so I can scratch build it?

Only resin as far as I know:

Unless it's out of production and not on the site, Planet Models only makes the Famo 18ton itself (and a couple of varients). No trailer, well not the tank transport trailer anyway. Thanks though.

I'm sure I've seen a FAMO+trailer kit from someone, but I can't find it.

Planet does offer the M26 Dragon Wagon, but again I don't see a trailer on the box-top.

OK, now I found them at the Tracks-n-Troops site. On their page for CMK-Planet (http://www.tracks-n-troops.com/cmk_-_planet_models.htm), they have the FAMO and trailer separately. Since there are now plastic kits of the FAMO (two, no less!), the trailer box art is here:

and the M26 with M15 trailer is here:

Knew I'd seen both of those...

Nice!! Thank you very much! Now to try to get it.

Tim, I think it's OOP, although Hannants seems to have stock, well here's the boxart.



If you want to scratch build it - Stefan König's book, 'FAMO 18t' - The Military Machine (ISBN 3-9805216-4-8) covers the FAMO, Crane and Sd.Anh.116 Trailer in detail (IIRC). You could probably get the wheels off a cheaper Airfix kit....

The owner or Tracks & troops is having some family/personal problems and for all intents and purposes is out of business (see the thread in the M-L Braille Sclae forum). Too bad since I have done business with him several times in the past and he was always able to get me interesting things from Europe.

Sorry to hear that. Oh well, I did find it at Great Models webstore. This idea may get built afterall.
