Hi all, I've been getting a little too interested in CMP vehicles of late and, with the extremely generous help of some on the WW2talk forums, have designed and made some models of what I hope is a relatively niche subject in 1/72 First up is a CMP F60T (101") with 10G1 semi-trailer, used by the Canadians and British for Lines of Communication transport with a 6t capacity:
Next is another Ford CMP a 60cwt 134" chassis with 4C1 dump body. Used for supplying RE construction works. I think the fact that the tailgate and bed joints work in 1/72 shows how useful 3d printing is becoming (and printed with SLS, so no assembly needed!):
I confess that my original aim was to play Chain of Command so my reasoning for why I need three RASC transport sections might not stand up to much scrutiny… (the reasoning might have been that I think Cab 13s look really cool) Peter |

They are really cool. Fantastic work |

Thanks! I should add that if anyone is similarly weird they are welcome to the CAD files if they send me a message |

You should always have three sections of RCASC or RASC transport available… Why, that's just common sense. By the way, there's a wrecker version of the CMP and a shop van version for your RCEME or REME workshop section. The Top 10% must be supported as well. Eric |
