CMP C60S Holmes Wrecker cab 13

The Canadian Military Pattern truck was a class of military truck made in large numbers in Canada during World War II to British Army specifications for usein the armies of the British Commonwealth allies. Standard designs were drawn up just before the beginning of the war. CMP trucks were also sent to the SovietUnion following the Nazi invasion of Russia, as part of Canada's lend-lease program to the Allies. During the War CMP trucks saw service around the world in theNorth African Campaign, the Allied invasion of Sicily, the Italian Campaign, the Russian Front, the Burma Campaign, the Battle of the Philippines (1941-42),the liberation of Northwest Europe, and the Western Allied invasion of Germany. CMP trucks also saw service in post-war conflicts in Indonesia, French Indochina,and the Portuguese colonies in Africa. Most CMP trucks were manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors of Canada Ltd and by the Ford MotorCompany of Canada. Just over 400,000 CMP trucks were manufactured in Canada, accounting for roughly half of the 815,729 military vehicles made in Canadaduring World War II. Chevrolet-built CMP trucks had a 215 cu in (3.5 L), 85 bhp (63.4 kW) straight-6 overhead-valve engine.

Go through assembly guide before you start your work. We recommend to use a sharp scalpel and razor blade to remove parts carefully.Heat up PE parts with lighter before use, brass will soften and become easy to bend and work withTamiya Super Thin Glue recommended for plastic parts, let the glue work for a few seconds, then pushparts together, melted plastic will fill the gaps between parts. You can also melt sprue frame and useit as an amazing filler for small works, or use this glue to wash out tiny seam lines on little parts or maketexture on some parts etc. You might need to adjust some holes with drilling bits
