I wonder again do the IBG people know the differences between Ford and Chevy CMPs? Apparently not!

I don´t know the difference between C30 Ford and Chevy, but looking at the sprues http://www.ibgmodels.com/35038.htm I think it´s the right one to depict LRDG version.

LRDG service vehicles were based on Ford F30 trucks, just some had Chevrolet´s differentials due to production shortage and early issues in Ford factory - but everything else were parts manufactured by Ford, so huge difference in details, engine, frame and so on in general

Surely not everyone around must be an expert in CMPs, I hope this place will help you:

I found this picture on the net. It is a Rosomak in Afghanistan.

I supposed the turret is the same than the one depicted in the kit N°35034.



And a curiosity on this picture, is the logo of Mercedes on the front of the vehicle.

Wish that Type 89 was 1/35th, but nice to see someone doing some Japanese armor.
