About product

Chevrolet C60S with a Holmes crane 1:72 (IBG Models)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Canadian Chevrolet C60S recovery vehicle fitted with a Holmes workshop crane in 1:72 scale from the Polish manufacturer IBG Models. The package offers two versions of the cab (Cab 11 and Cab 13), thread for winding the crane cables and decals for Canadian units. It is an interesting piece of support equipment that brings a different dimension to a diorama than a conventional combat vehicle.

The real subject

The Chevrolet C60S belonged to the family of Canadian military trucks of the CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) type, built in large numbers by the Canadian division of General Motors in the Second World War to British requirements. The recovery version carried the twin-boom Holmes W-45 crane with two winches and served to tow and repair damaged or bogged-down vehicles with Allied, and above all Canadian, units.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement for plastic and work in subassemblies; finish the chassis and the frame of the crane before you close the body. With the thread supplied you can rig the winch cables for a realistic look. Apply a primer before painting and apply the paints with an airbrush. You can bring the olive green British and Canadian scheme to life with a wash in the recesses and dust pigments on the fenders and the running gear.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Allied logistics and engineer vehicles in 1:72 scale
  • Builders of dioramas with towing and recovery scenes
  • Fans of Canadian CMP vehicles of the Second World War
  • Modelers who will appreciate two cab variants in one package

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It was a recovery and towing vehicle with a twin-boom Holmes crane, which with Allied units served to repair and tow damaged or bogged-down vehicles.

The package makes it possible to build two versions of the cab, Cab 11 or Cab 13, and it also contains thread for winding the crane cables.

The decal sheet carries the markings of Canadian units of the Second World War; it is best to check the particular schemes in the instructions in the package.
