Here are a few shots of my Australian CMP Bofors Gun Tractor No6.
It is not quite finished here but a good start I think. It will not be an exact replica of any one truck. The sources I have show different fittings both in factory and in the field. I think it will serve though.
The cab is pretty much made up from spare parts I had in the sprues box. Several different kits from Italeri, Peerless, and Tamiya went into this model. The bofors gun that is to be towed will be from Bronco as it is superior to the Italeri one.
Comments welcome as usual.

Outstanding! Great to see an Aussie build, and a project that uses some good old scratch building skills rather than just gluing on conversion bits!

Trust me I have seen Sean's truck up close and it is wonderful! Can't wait to see it with a coat of paint.
