Field-ready display Italeri 229 - 1/35 M101 Cargo Trailer with 250 Gallon Tank  [IT-0229S]

Workshop review of Italeri 229 - 1/35 M101 Cargo Trailer

The Italeri 229 delivers a 1/35 representation of the M101 cargo trailer with crisp mould lines and authentic scale cues. The kit reflects the trailer commonly used by the U.S. military for supply transport and is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy accurate military models.

Role in Support Units

The M101 served as a general purpose cargo trailer, and this model mirrors that practical function. Realistic touches help convey how the trailer was paired with service vehicles for transport tasks.

Build Difficulty and Fit

The kit offers a moderate build challenge. Parts are defined, but small components and the detailed undercarriage need precise trimming and alignment. Patience during assembly pays off in a neat final appearance.

How to Display

Painted and weathered, the trailer adds authenticity to convoy displays and maintenance bays. Its scale works well with standard 1/35 trucks and accessories for a convincing workshop or field scene.
