I am working on the Mirror Models 1/35th scale kit and looking for markings.

Hi group.

I may have more to add to this thread but for now.

If I'm correct I believe Canadians used the Diamond T 969B wrecker. The " B " being lend lease. The 969A was U.S. issue.

I concure with what others have pointed out but like to add that the Cnadian trucks didn't use the headlight guards.

I have the horizontal rad guard bars on my truck here in Canada as well as part of the bow assembly that was used for a camo net or for the canvas to disguise the truck as a cargo truck instead of a wrecker.

Sorry. I don't know how to post pictures here on MLU but if you PM me I can send pictures by email.
