Kevin,

Really nice job on that old kit.

If I may pick one small nit, the title of the article should be 15 CWT and not CWT 15. The vehicle is a "fifteen hundredweight" not a "hundredweight 15".

Just a suggestion.

Blame the editor (that would be me!) for not knowing what he's talking about

Thanks for the heads up Paul.

And really nice job Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Always good to se another 15cwt, good job on the kit and a nice finish. The haversack on the RHS might need moved forward and some straps added.

I like the wooden cable drums (home built or AM part?). It might be the pics but a little wear and tear on the fuel cans and drums would be good.

Excellent work.

Blame the editor

Ahhh! OK, I can buy that it's the editor's fault. Carry on!

Very nice work Kev and the finish has a very realistic finish about it.

Thanks for the comments, yes I noticed the haversack at the end, and forgot to go back to it. The spools are model RR spools, laser cut wood.

The hastily wiped door windows are a nice touch.

Thank you all, again. I was really excited about this build, I really like the CMP's. I am looking forward to the new Mirror Model kits on the way, and would like to see more updated kits, there are a whole series of CMP's that I would like to make.
