Fred,
I googled M-10 Ammunition Trailer (which was the two wheeled model used during WWII) and there are literally hundreds of images and pages. Here is just one that offered views of it loaded and unloaded.
http://www.asphm.com/vehicules/remorque ... ailer.html I'll look forward to your brilliance and modeling eye being used upon this neat little piece of added detail, Sir.
regards,
Painless

Today I made some changes in the project. I was using a Heng Long Sherman lower hull, but really did not like the look of it or the fact that there was no way to adjust the tracks. So, I decided to change everything. I bought a Tamiya metal lower hull and installed Mato metal suspension. I was inspired by Nick Aguilar who did the same with his Sherman Jumbo. But I keep the original suspension locking system. To complete, I fitted the Waltersons Premium Gearbox.

Now I am satisfied with the hull and suspension.

More additions to the M36 project: Today I started building a plastic back plate with the engine back doors. I am satisfied with the result so far. Let's see where the progression of the construction takes me.
