#AFV: M-1101 ##A-Folded-Vehicle (AFV) Series No. 2 This installment presents the second model in the A-Folded-Vehicle series, known for "kits" that can be printed on a single 6- x 6-inch 3D printer bed, making it possible to obtain all parts in one printing session. ###The Model At 1:56 scale and with 15 parts (including four optional gussets), this kit is the M-1101 Light Tactical Trailer (LTT) manufactured by Silver Eagle in Portland, OR USA. This model complements the M-1025 HMMWV (AFV Series No. 1), available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3064055. A step-by-step assembly guide is provided for building your own LTT. The trailer hitch piece from this kit can be retrofitted to the M-1025. Testors Liquid Cement for Plastic Models (#3507) is recommended for assembling your model. ###Step-By-Step Each step comes with its own photograph, featuring 15 parts in this kit for the M-1101 LTT. Begin assembly by cementing two wheel halves together and repeating the process to build two complete wheels. Press fit a wheel mount into the hub of each wheel. *Step 1.* Cement the frame to the underside of the trailer bed. Center the axles in the wheel openings, paying attention to the orientation of the frame—the flat portion of the tongue should be aligned with the bottom side of the bed. *Step 2.* Attach the wheel mounts to the bottom of the axles. *Step 3.* Cement one wheel well cover to the floor of the bed. *Step 4.* Fix the corresponding side panel to the bed and wheel well cover. *Step 5.* Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for the other side of the bed. *Step 6.* Cement the tailgate in place. Add the reinforcing grille to the front of the trailer and mount the trailer hitch to the rear bumper on an M-1025. There are four optional gussets included for reinforcing the inside of the trailer. Your AFV M-1101 LTT model is now complete. Stay tuned for future entries in this series, as well as other models.
