CMP Fords, semitrailer tractors

[Jan Mostek]

Hi CMP enthusiasts,

I am scale modeler and would like to build 1/35 scale model of CMP Ford Semitrailer Tractor, either in WWII military or post-war civil livery. Unfortunately, I am not able to locate any detail information (pictures or drawings) of so called fifth wheel, or semitrailer couplig. Is there somebody who could share with me with such infromation? I guess that similar fifth wheel was used on British Bedfor QL.

I am looking forward to the responses or discussion,

Hi Tony,
Thank you for your reply to my post. I have not seen these semitrailers before, but I am not sure if it is original CMP (or it could be made in Australia?). I have pictures of different type of semitrailer, single axle, and permanently coupled to the tractor (as far as I know the trasctors were only Fords). The semis you mentioned seem to have rear axles similar to the Scammell biggie. I´ll dig out some scanned pictures and will post them as soon as I have access to my archive.
Anyway, thanks a lot once again,
Jan.

Jan, use the search function and try terms like "F60T' or "Trailer". Plenty of options, good luck.
