A pretty straight forward redux. I forget who made the trailer, I changed the wheels and axles to something more retro. One thing added and one thing less for the Unimog and I think the change makes it fit right in with the rest of the military Matchbox vehicles & equipment.

Another model set that Matchbox could and should have done, great pairing Joe.

It's from that awful "other brand." Collectors of the other brand are really a different breed. I few years back I went onto ebay to see if I could find a couple of these cheap with cheap shipping so I could steal the canvas bed covers. Some clown had bought up like 22 or 23 different ones (at his local wallymart or where ever) thinking he could resell them at a tidy profit. I bought the lot of them for 15.00 including shipping. That would have been about a $15.00 loss for him if you figure in sales tax and postage.
Other then the one in the pic, all of them went to the local thrift store (without the canvas covers).

Oh, I just remembered, the seller packaged them up into a large box because they were all still in their blister cards. The shipping probably cost him better than half of the sale price.
