The first new vehicle masters for 2014 come in the form of these two WWII Brit additions!
First up is the Humber LRC, one of our Top 10 requested items, so it's good to get this added to the ranges. This is the Mk III version, introduced in 1941, although it only differs from the Mk II in being 4 wheel drive instead of 2 wheel. Over 2,000 of the LRC were produced, making it a very handy item to have in the catalogue:

Next up is the CMP 15CWT truck, another item which we've had requested a few times. There were many different CMP trucks produced, this one being a Chevrolet C15 model I believe. You can never have too many trucks!

Hope you like them!
Good stuff.....

Like the man says, you can never have too many trucks. Up to your usual brilliant standard, Mart. :-bd :-bd :-bd
Lovely
Just when I think I've finished, Pendraken come along with something that I most definitely must have. I love the 15cwt truck. Put me down for about ten. :D
Come to think of it, I think I've been in this position before. Could you give us some rough estimate of when we (the plaque on the Pendraken dentures) might be able to purchase these little wonders?
Please could you also give us an approximate month and year rather than one of your incantations? "It'll be on the first full moon after Salute, but before Techno's feet get webbed" really doesn't help. :P

I've always been amused by CCP's* timescale for almost all developments and updates:
Soon(tm) - once described as "a period up to, but not including, the next Ice Age" :)
CMP trucks were supplied to the Russians so I'm sure i'll be looking for a few myself.
*CCP are the comapny behind the MMORPG "EVE Online"
They look excelent. Useful too. Western desert 41/42 is a future project and these will be perfect.
Great work Mart!
Love the truck but the armoured car was never a favourite of mine. Now the Daimler Dingo is another matter... :)

Comet? Conqueror? Chieftan? Challenger? Crappyamerican? Chaffee?
French ones all start "A", German would be Leopard or Lynx, Russians start with "T" so I'm guessing Comet and Chaffee.
What do I win?
They could both be just Carro Armato
Nah! He said "tank", not "cardboard box with a pop gun."
