The actual changing of the two cabs was easy. The issues I had was with the fit of the doors and fenders on the IBG 12 cab. Also the Mirror kit was for a 4 X 4 truck but the cab was for a 2 X 4 truck with only the gear shifter and no shifter for the FWD and no hand break. The fitting of the steps gave some problems. I also had to add the round vents and the Chevy logo to the 11 cab. The 12 cab already had the square Ford vents.

Hi all,
Today a picture I've never seen before was found in the Canadian archive site. It turned out that after all most probably the IBG tanker has the right to exist. ![]() This one: ![]() I have no idea why they stated on the boxart the cab 11 (with 12 grille, though!) Ford CMP (with bowtie, though!) as "Chevrolet", ask them. It is possible, though, there is Chevy in the box and cab 12 too, as stated on the box, I cannot comment the kit. And this is the picture: ![]() Source: http://collectionscanada.gc.ca/pam_a...81986&lang=eng Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is cab 12 C60S. A one-off prototype, perhaps? Also, the caption says "IS C.W.T. petrol tender". What "IS" is for? Or this is a typo and they've had in mind 15 cwt? I would't be surprised if so, there are many incorrect captions in that place. Cheers! Last edited by Ilian Filipov; 21-12-16 at 18:26. |

The truck is a Cab 11 with a "Butterfly" bolt-together engine cover (variously called Hood or Bonnet, depending on where you are in the world). Cab 12 has an "Alligator" one piece hood.
Caption is doubly incorrect if IS is meant to be 15, as the truck is a 134inch wheelbase, so is either a C30 or C60S. |

Hi Tony,
And thanks for that. Indeed, it is cab 11. Mea culpa. Being in a hurry today I dind't spot the bolted bonnet (hood). Shame on me, the bolts behind the radiator shell are clearly visible on the picture! ![]() Most probably that "IS" is typo or OCR error but it suggest number "15". However, it is still better than THIS: ![]() Cheers! Last edited by Ilian Filipov; 22-12-16 at 01:12. |

Nice find Ilian! Still makes me wonder why IBG did this version in the first place when they could have done something a little less obscure. Oh well. The kit itself went together well enough. IBG were happy enough to post it on their site, Track-Link was happy and therefore I was happy

Has anyone completed the newest CMP in 1/35 of what is listed as IBG 35038 1/35 Chevrolet C30A General service?
Presumably the errors in the size of the Number 12 Cab will be the same as with the tanker, and presumably there isn't a 13 Cab included with this steel body, otherwise it would be mentioned. I was hoping to use it as the base for a C60S derreck with A frame at the rear. http://en.ibg.com.pl/en,ibg-35038-1-...l#.WF2wOfNXU5s
