Hi Leon,

I too make scale models and looked at scratch building one of these. I do have some info such as measurements of the body etc. somewhere and will look for them if you are interested. Beware of the front axle it is a different configuration to the usual CMP Ford front axle as it has the 'diff head' on the opposite side to the normal Ford front driven axle.

Jack, Thanks for your help, and i'l have a look at shows and events.

Cliff, I have seen your models here on this site and am impressed by your eye for detail.
I have a model in 1:76 from 4 mil models in Metal.
I was going to take measurements from it for the Body, But if you have actual measurements than I am sure interested.
Thanks for your help.


I will include some pics from some models I have build.


First is a cmp from TONDA discussed in the other post in the sergeants' mess.
It is a very nice model in resin and some Photo etch.














Hope you like them

All the best

Leon

Nice models. Nice to see some odd ball types being made.

Default Great

I like the 1938 chevy ute . The army here had some in a open cab/soft top configuration fitted out as radio cars . None of them have survived as far as I know.
