1/76 Scratch-built CMP Ford F60H FBE with Trailer and Boats

I am ready to call the scratch-built 1/76 CMP Ford F60H FBE done. The model is based upon the 1/72 IBG CMP C60S Wrecker kit. It has been a longer process as fall and winter activities ( leaves and snow) have done their best to interfere. However, the biggest issue was that Pete Marshall who kindly does my decals posted them from Michigan two days before the postal strike here in Canada so they were stuck in the system. Friend Chris Johnson came to my rescue and printed me up a complete set of decals with spares and couriered them to me last week. I am very grateful for his kindness. Chris is a top notch fellow Canadian modeller who's 1/35th scale creations are regularly featured in Military Modelcraft International magazine. Other contributors to the project included Wee Friends who provided a FBE body and load and Stu Harrison who supplied the wheels for the truck and Milicast, the figures... Who supplied the trailer is a bit of a mystery still as I had it in my stash but don't know who sent it to me. As always my thanks go to Dick Harley for his excellent input and support throughout the build. My thanks to all for your valued contributions. So, here are a few photos of the build and completed model.
