Is there any part of the very old Airfix / Max Chevrolet kit in 1/35 Scale that could be used, as I have a few of those in my stash of kits! Interestingly the Airfix / Max kit of the Field Artillery Tractor (rather than the Chev C15) might be a useful source as there is an extra sprue in mine that provides a 13 cab
No doubt the after market suppliers will start selling correction kits!

Hi Larry,
I don't know. Sorry, I'm into 1/72-76 scale. BTW, in 1/72 the so-called CMPs of IBG are really sad sight, not to say directly disgusting.  If this will make you little more happy... Cheers!

Ilian,
Yes, I agree that the IBG model CMPs in 1/72 are badly let down especially by their wheels and tyres before anything else. I have just seen that The Plastic Model Soldier Company has released CMP 15cwts in 1/72 for war gamers but have not seen any reviews yet or in the box shots.

Hi Larry,
The only comment on the PSC CMP kits so far is that in 1/100 (15 mm) the windows are solid and in 1/72 they are open. Still no sprue pics , just 3Ds. I agree the wheels of the IBG CMPs are awful and this is their most obvious shortcoming. But they aren't such a big problem, the wheels can be replaced. The problem is, on cabs 11 and 13 either, that the kits are simply packed with glaring errors, some of them beyond repair. I wonder what references IBG have used, if any! Cheers!

Perhaps Kimmo can give a run down of the corrections needed for the IBG kit in 1/35 scale of the C30a?
Assuming the engine is a Chevy and the axles then the front vents could be scraped off and a round hole could be drilled through and plated from behind to represent the Chev style. What else needs doing?

Hi Larry,
The first sprue shots of PCS Quads are available yet. I wish they weren't... Enjoy this:  No comments. If you still have a wish to see the rest take a look here: http://www.network54.com/Forum/47210...15/View+Thread Cheers!

Chev & Ford Blitz kits
Well I'm sure we will reach the promised land one day (if the kit manufacturers would get a little help from us!)
