Lee Drennen’s U.S. Millitary Cargo Trailer.(Ardennes Project)

[Lee Drennen]

Back in December of 2021 I posted this in the “What’s on the Bench” Thread. I wish I would have started a Thread of it’s own then. I’ve decided to go ahead and start one for it here. This was a old Monogram Snap Kit back in 1978. I’ve had it for a long time and wanted to make the trailer into a Millitary Cargo Trailer with stakes. The Stakes are Plastic that I robbed from a 1/50 flat bed truck. I thought it would be fitting to add it in my Ardennes Project. This trailer was a very vital piece of equipment for carrying precious cargo to the front lines being pulled behind Trucks, Half Tracks and sometimes Tanks to the “Battle of the Bulge”.

Very nice upgrades, brings some new life to the old Monogram trailer. It really looks the part.

Just shows that with a bit of skill and effort a kit can be improved. Looking good.

Nice improvements Lee, things like trailers are often forgotten about.
