How to reassemble a Ford F15
 

This is a fantastic find from Argentina, very kindly shared with us by Diego who is restoring a Ford CMP over there.
I'll post these in bits - he's still scanning and sending them.

Second page, AKA page 1 (the first was the cover)
 

It would be great to somewhere pull together the CMP library of this sort of thing, wouldn't it?

Meccano F15 instructions
 

Could this be made into a PDF and posted as one piece?

pdf
 

Yes, sure, once I get all the pages... but I think it's fun to make it a serial story too!

Lots of instructions.

Good detail here. Interesting to see how they have retouched these pics for clarity.

...and that's it until Diego sends some more.

Some assembly required
 

I'm with you there!

This is my kind of cereal / serial. :D Good for the digestion.

Keeping up with the photos so far.

Does it come with batteries, or are they sold seperately?

Great stuff, keep it coming!

My Ford has them; I followed the reassembly instructions :D

H.

Where do you find the CMPs in the crate?
 

Is this one of those $200 dollar surplus trucks you can get in the crate?

Wonderful reading, thanks for sharing.

Cheers Phil

Keith and Diego,

Thanks for posting these; very interesting reading and great pictures.

Hanno, please watch out....this instruction is not for your truck, but for the 4x2.....completely different :D
