1/35 scale CMP
Great work Bill!
If Tamiya produce just one kit let's hope it's a CMP with an accurate No.12 cab and a 3 ton GS version with a commonly seen body. If this was the only offering then at least modellers would still have the Peerless / Italeri kit for the No. 13 Cab.
I appreciate Tamiya would want to use as much as they could from existing kits but some how the cab on the FGT never quite makes a proper No.12 cab on a GS kit conversion. Even the Ciro kit on this thread does not look quite right. Tamiya could use some bits for sure but I hope the new cab would be measured up from a preserved vehicle and some accurate plans you want to get.
A 'Western Desert' 3 ton GS CMP would go well with the other British vehicles they offer from time to time for the same period.
As for the LRDG vehicle - if it was given a new closed cab and a long chassis that really would be a bonus!
Keep up the good work!
