The tractor is mostly scratch and converted. All that is left of the Renwal kit is the frame, rear axles, engine, transmission, cab floor, seats, firewall, front fenders and hood, fuel tank on left side, modified winches,and modified front grill. The front axle, fifth wheel and tires are from the Tamiya Dragon Wagon. The wheels are from a 1/24th scale AMT International Paystar dumptruck, sanded to a smaller diameter to fit the Dragon Wagon tires. The rest is scratch. The M15 trailer is from the Tamiya Dragom Wagon kit. The bed was widened, steps widened, ramps over rear wheels scratchbuilt, tie down schackles added on sides, loading ramps at rear moved out to line up with wider bed, and many other details added. Other than that, it is all from the kit!!!! It was a joy to build and I am really satisfied with the results. Now I have to build an M48A3 to go on the back of it.
