DESCRIPTION:

The CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) was a very significant Canadian contribution to the Allied war effort during WWII.

The CMP was a range of trucks designed and produced in Canada simultaneously by the subsidiaries of Ford, GM (General Motors) and Chrysler, serving in all Allied armies and on all war theaters.

During the WWII a total of 850.000 of these trucks were produced for different uses, a greater number than the total of trucks produced in Germany in the same period.

In the case of the British, from 1940 the CMP became the main truck of their army since during the evacuation in Dunkirk the British expeditionary forces had to leave all their vehicles on French soil.

CMPs were used in a wide variety of tasks.

This kit features a tow truck version that mounts a 3-ton crane.
