15cwt
Otter
C15 Armoured truck

Never thought I'd see these in plastic 1/35

At last!

I'll be recommending they do a 3 tonner ASAP either in 12 or 13 Cab.

Lets hope all these kits are priced reasonably.

As I said years ago on another thread, Italieri have lost the plot - when you compare all the variations of the OPEL Blitz we have to endure its a shame they never bothered to develop the 1/35 scale Chevy C15 Blitz they have been producing on and off since taking over mould from Airfix, which in turn was a very old 1970s kit that I think originated from Max or Peerless?

Planned for 2013:

CMP Chevrolet HUP
CMP Ford FAT
CMP C30 Chevrolet GS
CMP F60L Ford Workshop

I guess this list will be longer because Mirror Models has sister company LZ Models which produces limited variants of kits like C15A Cab 11/12 Water Tank Lorry.

Looks like a F15A to me

The Morris CS8 is of interest to me , the larger metal Cs8's offered on EBAY are very expensive .

Hi Mike,
Looking at the website, I think the following paragraph on there explains it;

Quote:

"The kit contains Cab11 and 2B1 body. Cab 11 sprue in the kit contains both, Chevrolet and Ford parts, if different (air intakes used in test build belong to Ford cab, and they were used because Chevy parts came from our producer later. In any case, the kit brings three options of air intakes - non for very early variant, circular for Chevy and square for Ford) Limited eddition of the kit will also contain parts to convert Cab11 into Cab12"

regards,
Richard

I have one of their kits here and had a hand in supplying a few measurements for the model. This is a finely detailed kit of the C15A and is true to scale. Mirror Models intend on having a complete lineup of all CMP vehicles from 15cwt up to 3 ton in both Ford and Chev. Not sure about the 8cwt though.

and a lot more to come. LZ models which is a sister company to Mirror Models makes assessories for the Mirror Kits. While these models are not for the beginner they have taken great pains to make the kits as accurate as possible. At present it is mainly Chev's in the line up BUT Ford CMP's are coming soon along with a HUP and other vehicles like a Diamond T wrecker in plastic and indian WW2 motor bike.
