1/72 M123 Semi-tractor (with Academy M35 and Dragon Wagon Kit) by Burak Özdil

Hello dear modeller,

A nice project from Burak Özdil .. Making a 1/72 scale M123 6x6 semi-tractor . The Mack M123 was a 10-ton 6x6 semi-tractor introduced in 1955; the Mack M125 was a heavy cargo truck version of the M123. The M123 was used to tow tank transporter trailers while the M125 towed field artillery pieces.

He used an Academy M-35 kit for this truck. Of course a lot of renovations ..

The M123 was used to tow semi-trailers carrying MBT's (in conjunction with the M15A1 and later the M747 semi-trailer) and as such superseded the M26(A1) Pacific "Dragon Wagon" and semi-trailers carrying engineering equipment (e.g. in conjunction with the M 127 low bed semi-trailer). Burak used Academy Dragon Wagon kit for  semi-trailers..

Today, here is the construction stages...

Critical decision about wheels .. M35 truck wheels are small, so used from the Dragon Wagon kit wheels..
