Ok here are what picture i have:

this was the inspiration







From there I set out to start building the chassis





at this point i realized that my rear axles were not right so back to work.







now it looks better the issue i was having was i was and still am working off of a 1/72 scale model, the next point was to start securing it together.









once i got all that figured out then it was time to start the front mounted winch.







now that this was done I needed to start on the body and as Tamiyacowboy can attest I SUCK at body work and paint, so I got help.





















And at this point I started work on the rear of the M26 more pictures to come

Tanks guys and for some more pictures.

I started on the rear of the M26 with the 5th wheel plate and the A-arm for recovery missions.













these are the last pictures that I have I will get some more of the newer stuff I have done ans well as some of the Trailer sections I have started. I did rework the rear A-arm mounting plate as I was not happy with it. I also will add pictures of the platform with the welding tanks and stash cubby as soon as i get them taken. What is taking me so long is the fact that i have to add two more winches at the rear and I want it to look right as well as be functional.

Hello

I just found this build post and My jaw is still on the bench WOW! I don`t think you should put yourself down about your body work WOW. Sorry I didn`t see, what is the scale of your build?

Also about the truck and trailer, could you tell me the size of the aluminum rails and where you got them from? Is it possible for you to post a list of the parts sources you got your parts from? How did you get your measurements for the large scale build?

Thanks Again for Posting, Keep them coming PLEASE.

George
