Re: M100 1/4 ton trailer
Lovely job of work Will and long overdue as the only 1/4 tonne General Purpose trailer presently on the market in 1/16 is grossly overpriced and not particularly well detailed,
Your little beauty with just the barest of modifications would easily pass as a post war British Army 1/4 tonner and will look great behind a Bruder 1/16 Landie.
As we all know I am a pain for exactitude, The JOCKEY Wheel was so called because when it is not in use it swings up out of the way alongside the A frame riding like a jockey,
The British Army trailer support was a tube with a square mild steel plate as its base that slid up and down as needed held in place by a spring loaded bolt.
The British Army 1/2 tonne trailer did have a jockey wheel.
Any idea of the price or is that too soon?
Nice website by the way

The jockey folds up, i have ordered magnets to hold it in place, but is a tight fit anyway
The leaf springs work real nice and smooth, perfect height aswell to suit our own 1/4ton utility truck

It works real nice, has good proportions, as always, built as close to 1/16 as possible for the size of the vehicle with a few beefed up parts to help it survive real work duties.
This one is FDM printed fully, however, i think for the kit we will be doing a resin top and test that on the new big resin machine. For adventurous people we have made the rear lights hollow so lights can be fitted. Somehting to enjoy, good place to put alot of little accessories.
Will sell as Built or Kit, a build video will follow later once Will has sorted parts for another print, he is just in progress of trying to finsih off Gary's 251 half track

Re: M100 1/4 ton trailer
I’m sure you know that the M100 was a post war trailer designed off the back of the successful MB-T (Willys) and T3 (Bantam) 1/4 ton trailers (G529) for the ww2 Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps.
Subtle differences, but if you are trying to depict a trailer for ww2 jeeps you should not do the M100…

My bad, it is modelled around a WW2 trailer unit for Willys Jeep.
Apologies. Bad research in there!
