US 1 Ton Trailers

[Tiger6]

Not had a lot of time to work on the Centurian conversions lately, so I have contented myself with some smaller projects based on my old G-518 1Ton 'Ben Hur' trailer design:

Mini-Art recently bought out their G-527 250 Gallon Water Carrier, so naturally I had to get that for reference for this:

Finally, I wanted to expand the repair section diorama at shows, so while rumaging around for info on the PE 95 Gensets, I found this: https://cckw.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2948

Sehr gut!

Thank you! I am glad you showed these trailers and loads! Such accessory models are great fun to learn about and paint, creating a diorama in themselves. I look forward to seeing more about them.

Thank you
I must be doing something right here, as I see ICM is bring more of this kind of thing into their 1/35 range this year - even including the CCKW field kitchen truck I built a few years ago now (no, I am not doing their CAD work - before anybody asks!)

@Herman

I think Will has you covered for the fuel barrel trailer? Not sure about the German ammo trailer, but if he hasn't done it already, and you can get me some dimensions I can probably rework the Ben Hur into something close (same goes for the Russian one)

The Mortar was done a few years ago now, can't find any pictures on my phone from shows tho
