More 1/35 CMP kits
There are some more models of CMP´s in 1/35 scale. The (probably French) company "La Hoche" released a couple of 15 CWT variants some years ago. These are not for the faint harted though, as these are part plastic, pasrt resin. These include the basic Italeri frames for chassis, wheels and cab, and resin parts for the different body styles.
I´ve got two of these, a Chevy C8 ambulance, and C15 watertruck. As these are limited runs, the chance of finding one is rather slim, helas. Besides availability, as with all this type of specials, its really too expensive. The ambulance had a selling price of 140 old Dutch Guilders, which means roughly $ 65 nowadays!
About the Italeri kits, i agree with the rest that the quality of these is very good, and if you come acrss one, buy it! Allways nice to have some "in stock". I used the 15CWT combined with the large wheels of the AT as a basis for a C60L. It is not actually finished yet, but i´ll see if i can make some pics.
