Trailers US / Axis etc, with spares.

 If you which a range of accessories  such as jerry cans, tools, tarps, etc, how about doing them with a jeep trailer. For larger items, oil drums and such, the half track trailer would make another set. The Axis could be the Hanomag trailer, with German spares  such as, Night vision for the Panther G  which could be a nice bonus of  say 3 or 4 items. The rest made up of the excellent ideas of others else where on the forum. Tow hook in open position for vehicle could be in the trailer set if needed.
Cheers.

The Yanks had a few sizes of trailers , from the 1/4 ton jeep trailer, larger 3/4 ton cargo types pulled by Dueces , to the  ammo trailers  pulled by M8 GMC and 105 howitzer Shermans  . The only German one I know of besides the 20 / 37 mm ammo trailers for halftrack mounted flak guns , is the short 75mm ammo trailer pulled by SdKfz 252 ( in Stug units ) . So what is the Hanomag trailer ?

It was a 1/35 trailer that held the batteries for Nictos   motorised  Hanomag, on the box lid the troops were unloading tents and making camp. So that's what it got made into, I`ve seen pictures of the real in Russia and Italy. Same wheels as the Hanomag. Sorry can`t help any more, lots of water under the bridge since then. Cheers.

I tried to google "Hanomag trailer" and found this hilarious picture:



Seriously though, there seem to exist a lot of special ammo trailers for the various 20mm and 37mm guns, but there's also a more generic ammo trailer which could carry whatever you put into it. Sonderanhänger 51 apparently:



And then there's this one for carrying signals equipment (probably cables and tools).

Found this link to a list of trailers:

Apparently Sonderanhänger 51 is the one that 20mm flak guns are mounted on, but it seems that it was a multi purpose trailer that you could also put that an ammo box on.

Interesting site , Laffe . Seems that the Germans had many specialized  trailers that were only used for one thing , with a certain pull vehicle , ie signal truck and wire trailer . The Yanks had a ton of generic cargo trailers from the Jeep 1/4 ton  up to IRC a 4 ton type . Maybe because the US army was , for the most part , mobile in trucks . The Germans still used horses to pull cargo wagons and artillery , even in late 1945 . IRC the actual percentage  wheeled and tracked vehicles in each Panzer army was minimal . So what Rubicon needs to do is bring out some German wagons and find someone to sculpt them some horses

I`d love to see the German Horse Drawn Kitchen make a nice camp ambush scenario. Not to mention a great modelling and painting opportunity .
Cheers.
