Decal menace, the old Tamiya ones didN’t came of the paper anymore after all those years.
Dry decals from Verlinden did partially the job (also 25 years old)
Ordered a sheet of Star Decals for the vehicle numbers. Glad the shop had them in stock...

Hi Olivier, i intended to build the M10 ammo trailer, but that isn't nowhere for sale anymore. But I saved a article from a magazine how to scratchbuilt an M8 trailer? So one of them it will be.

Thank you, it was a pleasure to build, not in the last place by adding the M10 trailer, who a mate printed for me
