Hi Guys I am building the CGM Productions International Harvester M2.4 (want to make a USMC rocket truck... nice kit BTW) I'm about 75% done but now just realized that the hood(bonnet?) and the front bumper is missing! (The bumper I think I could scratch)The louvered side engine panels are there but the top is missing. I think CGM may be out buisness but if anyone knows Pascal or any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Cheers Mark

I should have the bumper finished over the weekend.
Then I'll get them in the mail to you.


The hood is laminated aluminum foil with epoxy between the layers so it's on the fragile side of things.

Hey Dave... Where in NJ are you? Funny thing is I wired the engine put a fan and belt so I was thinking leaving the sides off and just have the hood on. I saw some pics of some of them that way... will post some in-progress shots... as far as the launcher goes, looks like a lot of evergreen rod is the way to go Cheers Mark

Spuds, she never speaks nicely of me, I guess i'm just a sextoy to her.

Mark, I live in Lake Parsisppany. About a block and a half from the lake.
If you detailed the engine, it will look good with the side pieces off.

All I can suggest is try following the (marked as add photos) tutorial at the bottom of the page to add photos to your gallery, or use an outside photo hosting site, like photo-bucket. links are on the tutorial page for hosting sites.
Just make sure you photo size if you are uploading to your gallery, make sure the size is 800x600 or smaller.
