This is a G.M.C Bolster 2 1/2 ton of U.S Corps of Engineers with trailer for hauling M4 Floating Bridge Equipment during the end of WW2 ( 1945 )
This custom model is made with brass metal and aluminium from French Solido Models in 1:50 scale.

Excellent work... It's almost a shame to paint over it.

How many of these will you have built in total? In your last unpainted photo, it appears you have 4 chassis there? Great work once again. Applause
