The tractor is the M 923 Big foot kit by Italeri. I had some resin wheels laying around, not sure who made them. The fifth wheel area is all scratch built using plastic stock by Evergreen. The trailer is scratch built and the wheels are from the parts box. They came from the Tamiya 2 1/2 ton kit. The tanker body is from the AFV Club M 49 tanker kit and the cargo crates along with the tie down straps are scratch built also. Thanks to our Vodnik, I corrected the stick shift by scratching the automatic shifter.

Thanks Cliff.
Steve, it is a general trailer/lowboy. It was used to carry equipment, vehicles, cargo etc.
Thanks for the kind words Klaus.

Dave, this is an absolute beauty!!! I love the fact that you scratch built the trailer!!!! And the fifth wheel is a real piece of art.
The finish work is outstanding!
Keep 'em rolling!

Yeah, I've been involved in doing a 1/350 Missouri for the Dreadnaught Campaign, so I've been "hangin' out" a lot on the Warships page.
