Just started on this build about a week ago. It’s the Tamiya Dragon wagon eduard PE, and some scratch building of some of the brake and lube system for the chain drive on the rear tractor wheels. I’m using "A visual history of theU.S. Army’s heavy tank transporter 1941-1955 Dragon Wagon by: David Doyle and Pat Stansell as my tech reference.
Up to this point the build has been problem free and going together nicely, even my brake system came along fairly trouble free. I’ll be doing quite abit of work on the tractor before I post pics again, so it may be awhile. Semper Fi, Mike
Hey Mike
Looking great Your usual great workmanship- Almost missed this post. I’v been so busy no time to build, But did find enough time to do a little on my M115. It looks like a nice kit so far![tup][tup][tup]

Looking good? No, looking great! I’ve got this baby about 1/2 done, sitting in its box. I may now have to bump it back up the list and see if I can’t get it done this summer. Looking forward to future updates, excellent work you’ve got so far.
Thanks for the comments folks! Like I said it may be awhile before anymore pics are posted, although I probably will post a few of the front part of the engine compartment after I’ve done some wiring in there. Anyone with a few builds under their belt can handle this kit! It is well illustrated, and easy to follow the directions, the kit practically builds itself. Should you decide to go with some PE, which in my opinion, doesn’t really need it, as the detail is very good. You should study the plans carefully, and progress with caution! Make sure your PE directions, are coordinated with the assembly directions of the kit, and you’ll have no problems. Thanks again for your commments, back to the workbench. Semper Fi, Mike
Nice build Mike, I built the same kit several years ago just straight out of the box and was very pleased with it. I have another in the closet that I am planning on building as a softcab version with the M15A1 trailor. Look forward to seeing pics of the finished product.
