Go through assembly guide before you start your work.

Some gates are larger, because we dont want

any ejector marks on parts, and also very thin true-to scale parts require larger gates to avoid filling
issues, you need to use a little razor blade and sharp scalpel to remove these parts carefully.
Images in rows one by one show usually one small assembly step
Heat up PE parts with lighter before use, brass will soften and become easy to bend and work with.
Gunze Mr. Cement or Tamiya Super Thin Glue recommended for plastic parts, let the glue work for a few
seconds, then push parts together, melted plastic will fill the gaps between parts. You can also melt
sprue frame and use it as an amazing filler for small works, or use this glue to wash out tiny seam lines
on little parts or make texture on some parts etc.
The Canadian Military Pattern truck was a class of military trucks made in large numbers in Canada during World War II
to British Army specifications for use in the armies of the British Commonwealth allies. Standard designs were drawn up just
before the beginning of the war. CMP trucks were also sent to the Soviet Union following the Nazi invasion of Russia, as part
of Canada's lend-lease program to the Allies. During the War CMP trucks saw service around the world in the North African
Campaign, the Allied invasion of Sicily, the Italian Campaign, the Russian Front, the Burma Campaign, the Battle of the
Philippines (1941-42), the liberation of Northwest Europe, and the Western Allied invasion of Germany. CMP trucks also saw
service in post-war conflicts in Indonesia, French Indochina, and the Portuguese colonies in Africa. Most CMP trucks were
manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors of Canada Ltd and by the Ford Motor Company of Canada. Just over
400,000 CMP trucks were manufactured in Canada, accounting for roughly half of the 815,729 military vehicles made in Canada
during World War II. The Ford-built CMP trucks had a 239 cu in (3.9 L), 95 bhp (70.8 kW) V8 engine. Cab design changed twice,
first designed at Ford, second and third cab designs - called No. 11, 12 and 13. First two type were similar, the main difference
being a two-part radiator grille in No.12 cab, its upper part was opened with a bonnet, which was known as the "Alligator cab".
The production of CMP truck bodies in Canada was subcontracted out to smaller companies in Ontario and Manitoba, organized
into the wartime Steel Body Manufacturers Association by the Department of Munitions and Supply. The wide variety of truck
body designs included general service, water tanker, fuel tanker, vehicle recovery, dental clinic, mobile laundry, wireless house,
machinery, folding boat transport, and anti-tank gun portee. F15 Ford was often seen in desert service with top of the cab removed
