Hi Panzer Vor

Have you thought about using different type of vehicles to go on the back of the trailer such as a recovery truck(field workshop) an armoured car, half track or even an allied aircraft.

The possibilities are endless, myself I would go for something entirely different from the norm, an allied aircraft shot down behind enemy lines already loaded up for examination would look different!

If you do wish to put another vehicle on the back of the trailer how about an old beat up truck or armoured recon vehicle or an enemy tank, or simply load it up with a few kublewagon`s or staff cars with some freight, what ever you decide to build, I hope you are going to blog it.

the planes option is one im playing with but tbh they would have to be 1/32 scale not a cheap option

What about a mini sub like a Seehund or Biber?

[Panzer Vor!!!]

hmmm good idea and you can get them in 35 scale wanna do the famo and the rest in grey though not yellow so still doable

[Shar2]

I'll see what I've got in the stash that's suitable and cheepish for you to buy next Sunday

wonder if anyone seen any pics of amini sub on a trailer ??Suppose they were special trailers like the V2s ones

[Shar2]

U Models do a trialer for the Biber, but it ain't cheap. HERE

ouch nice but mebbe not starting to think on the lines of telegraph poles being replaced

Buy a cheap 1:32 plane, de-wing it etc? You can probably get a cheap kit (one of the old Revell/Hasegawa/Matchbox/etc) or a part-started reject for not that much money. A good opportunity to go to town detailing it as well - lots do do if it's a wreck or partly dismantled. If you want to take the easy way out throw a big tarp over the lot, and just have a few bits poking out.

Another interesting alternative - though one that would require a bit more work - would be to do an outsize load along the lines of a U-boat engine, a warship turbine or a naval artillery tube. You'd have to scratchbuild it, obviously, but it could be a really interesting subject. Say a 28cm gun from a Panzerschiff?
