Hi to all,
I just received the M8 Ammo Trailer from Tigermodels. It's looking a nice little kit. Although there are some parts which look deformed (e.g. top doors). What I like to know is when was it used? And what about the towing vehicle, most of the pictures I saw showed only the M8 HMC?

Hey Surgeon, as to when the M8 Trailor was used, I am not fully sure, I do know however, that they were definelty in service from D-Day onward.
As far as which vehicles used them, nearly any vehicle that needed 75mm ammo stores or was in a supporting role. This could be jeeps supporting artillery, halftracks, M4's etc..
Possibly those that used 105mm too, though I do not have enough info to confirm this.
