I wonder why they call it Ben Hur? I didn’t see Charlton Heston pulling it in the movie 
PS, if the kit is anything like the movie then it will be a great quality model.

According to Wikipedia, “the Ben Hur trailer was nicknamed after its major manufacturer, the Ben–Hur Mfg. Co., although there were many other companies that produced it between 1941 and 1945.”

Perhaps because it is a 2-wheeled “Chariot” that is pulled behind a prime mover???

Sounds like a good reason, but nope. The answer is in the post above yours.

Agreed. It’s like at least 60 years since people said " ya know what would be a nice addition to my stuff? " I can think of me needing it a try least 5 times over the span

Nifty, and with one of the best canvas tops I have ever seen that isn’t resin.
