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.

Hi Larry. Not got the IBG C30a, but looking at the sprues on their website http://www.ibgmodels.com/35038.htm it appears that they have done it again with the Ford intake grills!!!! No 13 cab with this one, unlike their C60 kit.

To get a Chevrolet body for any of the IBG No.12 or 13 cab CMP's, you are going to have to cross-kit with one of the Mirror Models C-60 kits! You can't even build it as a Ford, as only the Chev 6 cylinder engine is in the kit (no Ford V8), and the axles are Chev 'Banjo' types, and they only appeared on very early Ford No.11 cabs!!!! Another confused kit from IBG....

Cheers,
Pete M.
