BUT it is a pity that a model manufacturer did not do a bit more research and make the kit correct instead of basing it on one photo of a partly built truck at the factory.

You shouldn't forget that modelling market has its own rights like releasing kits which are base for further conversions. Many modellers don't want to remove cab on their own, several others will not buy this kit and wait for "full cab" set. Last but not least - you may use this kit to build this particular vehicle from the photo mentioned above so from modelling point of view it's well done.

you also must remember that the manufacturerer claimed to me on another site that this model was of a vehicle that came from the factory as it is with no roof or windscreen and told me to look at Service Publications Factory Photo CD for proof. Proof was one photo of a partly assembled truck. With a comment like this it is easy to believe that not much research was done and the kit was released incomplete. As to modellers having their own rights so do hotrodders and restorerers although finished vehicles are totally different between the two they both have their uniqueness.
I will not comment any further on this kit or it's maker which I believe you either are or are in close contact with except to say IT IS A NICE KIT IN MY OPINION BUT A PITY IT IS NOT OF A TRUE FACTORY FINISHED PRODUCT! Perhaps you would like to send me a kit and I'll do an honest review of it for you!

Hi guys
I dont see any problem here, I wanted this first variant released without closed cab, because it simply suits much more to modellerīs needs. Full cab variant is coming in a couple of weeks, and it will be true factory finished product then My mistake was that I mentioned somewhere I believed it was produced also as a open cab variant. A few pictures with open cab vehicles looked very same like the others taken at factory yard and showing fully finished vehicles, and then it was easy to believe they might be finished as well. I have spent many months by doing research, but no one could give me clear and documented answer about this Libor

Hi Cliff
the price will be around 50 euro, should be available in some 4 weeks. I believe soon I will be able to switch our kits into plastic, and all new kits might be cheaper. Cheers Libor

That's good Libor. I may wait until the plastic variety is available as it is easier to work with. New 1/35 plastic kits of #11 & #12 cab CMP's would be very welcome out there followed by #13 cab versions.
I look forward to seeing them in real time
