I can only assume that the kit you used was other than the clapped out moulding that I experienced during assembly.

I got to be very frustrated with the lack of parts- mating and existence of excessive flash, that I put the kit away, perhaps to attack it at another time.

I especially wanted to complete the model since it would replicate my 1:1 Chev.

Perhaps I'll fare better with the Czech bagged kit.

Jon that is the only kit there is of the CMP 13 cab in plastic apart from the gun tractor kit from the same maker/molds.

You may have got a bad kit which happens, but in my opinion for a 30 plus year old kit it has good detail even if it has a lot of excess flash and a few too many sink holes. I am hoping that Italeri re-releases it so I can get some more as I have more CMP models on my list to do than I have kits.

I also know from experience that a lot of the Eastern Europe kits are as bad or worse then the CMP 15cwt kit.

Thanks for the comments on my model I appreciate them.

Cheers
