I have made a small change/update to the M1062 trailer. When I was building it, I found that most had Dayton 5-spoke wheels on them. These are a heavy-duty wheel used on commercial trucks/trailers.
At the time, I couldn’t find any in 1/35 on the aftermarket. The Trumpeter M915 w/M872 trailer has them on the trailer though. I was able to get a set from a fellow modeler (thanks Tim). So I swapped out the Dayton wheels/tires for the 5-hole military wheels w/commercial tires I had on it. They were an easy swap and look great in my opinion.

I will use the other wheels/tires to convert the M872 trailer into the shorter, two axle M871 30 foot trailer, which uses the 5-hole style wheel.
