After several attempts with my 5 year old nephew. The only result we have come up with looks pretty ordinary...

Apologies for the late reply. Have not been anywhere near a computer let alone MLU for a couple of weeks.

They are not bad examples are they?

I have notified Libor (Mirror Models) and told him about this gearbox mistake. I checked my two kits (GS & water tanker) and both have the Ford gearbox. I am doing the GS as an early no vent 11 cab Chev C15A but have purchased the 'LZ' 4X2 conversion as well as the 12 cab conversion kit to do the water tanker as a 4X2 12 cab.

These kits are NOT for beginners either and I have to do just a little at a time as well but they will make up to be a really good detailed model. Ford versions are on the way along with 30cwt and 60cwt versions of both Ford and Chev.

PS> LZ Models is owned by the same folk as Mirror Models

Not from Mirror Models you can't. All these are in 1/35 scale which I (for one) do not regard as tiny! Now, if they did them all again in 1/76 scale I might well be tempted.

So from the above are you saying that the Chevrolet 35101 has the wrong gearbox from a Ford? Do they do a Ford F15 as well?

Having said that they are still great kits

NB - For small scale I think 1/72 would be better as most kits are in this scale now.

I like the water truck. Now if I drop the tank on the Cab 13 it would be even better.
