Well I igured that I should go ahead and put this beast together.
Hopefully I dont mess it up. It’s getting harder and harder to find this thing in my area. and at 100.00 dollars plus, I will take my time and do it right. Wish me luck, and any help from the darkside would help.
Does anyone have any sugestions on what I should put on the trailer? I am not sure as to go with either US armor in transport or captured armor? What would you put on it if you had the choice?
Them Dragon Wagons sure seem to be popular here in the armor forum. I wish you the best, should be a winner from all that I’ve heard about it.
You can often find them on eBay for less than $100, depends on how quick you need one, though.
Personally, I’m gonna put an M4 Sherman on mine when I get around to it; but a captured Panther might be cool, too.
Here is a few pics of mine for ya, I put the firefly on mine. As far as pointers go if you have the armored windows open and the front you will need to take care of some injecter marks and something I have noticed on alot of people have built this kit without sanding off the mold seem on the tires,I took care of this by using a dremel. And here is a site that helped me alot goood luck shes a great kit.

Go for it, the kit shouldn’t give you any problems.
Never done the full Dragon Wagon, but I did the M26 Recovery Vehicle.
Well I think that I am gong to put a captured tank on it but cant decide between either a Panther or a Tiger. In you alls oppinion which manufature has the best kit?
I have one of those under the tree, so I wont be starting on mine untill late winter (gotta finish the leopould, and a whiskey cobra first). I asked the same question regarding mine, and I got three really cool sugestions. The first was to put Santas sleigh on the back, the second was a really big x-mas tree, and the third was a stage for a USO show with chicks n everything (my wife opted for number three) . I think im gonna shoot for a panther or something like that (maybe a tiger I like them)

The guntruck site is good to see some pics of a very nicely detailed one.
YOu shouldn’t have any problems with this kit. It goes together like a dream. I built just the M26 tractor, but if I had the trailer, I’d go with a nice M-18 Hellcat on it [:D]
I think that I have decided to go with either a Panther or TIger from Dragon. You never know I might do a USO stage on it, that would be kind funny to se that done, but the question in that is to which celeb’s to have on it???
Wow, I guess the real challenge will be how to display this beast, it sure takes up a lot of real estate!

[V] I don’t think you want to load a Tiger on a 40 ton transporter, you might want to stick with the medium tanks.

A captured Panther would be my vote. Perhaps a couple of light tanks? M5A1 stuarts?
Stay away from the idea of a Tiger I. Way too heavy (the Panther was much over the capacity already but they made do).
im going to out a Panther or if i get a soft cad for my Dragon Wagon i could try a T-26 Pershing
