We are a polish reconstruction group. We have a reconstructed Canada CMP 15 vehicle and we represent ourselves by wearing polish army attire in England.

In 2004, we attended D-Day in Normandy for the 60th anniversary.

In 2009, we are planning on driving to D-Day in a rebuilt Canada Gun Tractor, the last of the war series 1944/1945.

We are in need of any pictures, drawings, dimensions to help us with our build.

Jan,

There is some information about the 1945 7B3 model FAT on this forum - there are a couple of survivors in Argentina.

Regards,
Hanno

Note that the fourth picture shows a Morris-Commercial C8 FAT, not a Ford or Chevrolet FAT.

It looks like even Gregg could make mistakes!! These are all out of his Military Vehicles Profiles.

Default FGT 7B3 in Portugal
Mariano Paz spotted this snippet in Wheels & Tracks magazine no. 60. This photo was taken by Johan Dieffenbach in Portugal. This is the only indication I know of that the FGT with 7B3 body was used by the Portuguese Army
