Neat, almost makes me nostalgic for the real thing .... but not quite Smile [:)]

Will it have sound effects so we can hear that old Reo going Pop-Pop-Pop ... as it chugged down the road Big Smile [:D]

A great diorama is the loaded trailer bottomed out trying to make a tight turn up-hill in the middle of a German town ....
Life would have been a lot easier 30-some years ago if we'd had the HET !!!!

Scratch/converted M123 A1C in-progress

Posted by HeavyArty on Thursday, January 22, 2004 2:53 PM

Here are some in-progress shots of my M123A1C tractor that I have been gathering parts for for over a year. It is finally getting started. The base kit is the old Revell/Renwall 5-ton wrecker. I used the cab front, frame and rear running gear from it. Mated the rear of Italeri M923 cab and windshield frame to the cab. Tires and front axle are from Dragon Wagon along with 5th wheel. Wheels are from a 1/24th Ertl International Payster Dumptruck. Also used many other parts from Dragon Wagon and Italeri 5-ton. It will eventually be mated with a modified Dragon Wagon M15 trailer to M15A1 standard by widening trailer and adding new ramps over tires. The Photos:
