Hi all,

i have built and painted the model but need to weather and have a question. is all of the walls above the cargobed floor made of wood? or just the top half? the tailgate for example, is it wood or steel? thx for any replies.

Hi Gary

The one in the pics below has a wooden cargo bed, but some were fitted with a metal one (just like the CCKW 353...)





Here's one with the metal cargo bed :

Hi Frenchy,

i have the ICM kit no. 35511. it looks similar to your pics but it is a bit different cargo bed. so im still not sure. thx man!

I don't have the ICM kit in the stash, that's why I've missed the difference with the wooden cargo bed pictured above : the kit cargo bed has apparently 2 "planks" per side whereas all the preserved trucks with wooden bed I've seen so far have 3 or 4 "planks" per side...Anyway I'm quite sure the kit one is a wooden one as well.

Here are some walkaround pics of the wooden cargo bed version (with 4 "planks" per side )

or even here : http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/icm/icm35511.html

the cargo bed as found in ICM kit was made of wood indeed
