Hi,
Further ramblings, more details added to the trailer and a bit of paint added, it still has a long way to go before its finished, next to add the hatch retaining pins and chains and some more weathering, from the photos i have seen these trailers were well used and abused and were around for quite a while and were not in the best of condition.
Regards
Sub.

Truly excellent work Sub, some next-level fabrication here. Definitely a result to be proud of! What's left to be done now?

Hi Mr Raminator.
Thank you for your continued interest and feedback, much appreciated.
There is only a single support leg that needs to be made now, it folds down from beneath the front of the box when the trailer is not in use to hold it up level, its odd as it is a single leg in the centre of the trailer at the front as apposed to 2 legs one each side.
I have now found a photo of it so should be able to make one from brass, the difficult bit will be making it fold up and down and stay in place.
Thx for looking.
Regards.
Sub.

Hi,
Just a pic of the halftrack and trailer combo on its first outing on the testing ground, ran rather well.
Hopefully i should have some more pics shortly.
