Do you have such & would you be willing to let me have a copy please? All costs covered of course!

Howard I would have to search through all my spare discs to see what I have. I don't think I drew plans but just converted all real measurements to a scale size. I am happy to share so if I find anything I will email you through the forum here but give me a week or so please.

I also made resin molds of the front and rear axles to 1/35 scale for the Ford CMP and the 1939-1941 Ford M/H conversions as well. As my modelling days are finished due to health I still have to make up my mind what I will do with all the CMP 13 cab molds I have as well.

Thanks for the info, Cliff. I recognized the same behaviour of the "resin manufacturers" as well regarding some models of the LRDG-Chevy; it seems that a lot of the parts are ust copied from the TAMIYA model without checking, if they really fit to an earlier Chevy WA as well. And since the resin models are normally quite high in price, the one who buys them expects it to be in scale....
