From Wikipedia:
The Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck was a class of military truck made in
large numbers in Canada during World War II to British Army specifications for
use in the armies of the British Commonwealth allies. CMP trucks were also
sent to the Soviet Union following the Nazi invasion of Russia, as part of
Canada's lend-lease program to the Allies. During the War CMP trucks
saw service around the world in the North African Campaign, the Allied invasion
of Sicily, the Italian Campaign, the Russian Front, the Burma Campaign,
the Battle of the Philippines (1941-42), the liberation of Northwest Europe, and
the Western Allied invasion of Germany. CMP trucks also saw service in post-war
conflicts in Indonesia, French Indochina, and the Portuguese colonies in Africa.

  • Page 2 The rise to power in Germany of Hitler and the Nazi party in 1933 led to discussions in the mid-1930s between the British War Office and the Canadian Army concerning the possible production of military vehicles in Canada. During the First World War Canadian land forces had participated as a corps in the British Army.
  • Page 3 proved versatile, and it formed the basis of a wide variety of different truck types and armoured vehicles. In Australian service (almost always with the No. 13 cab) these vehicles were known as the "Chev Blitz" or the "Ford Blitz". Just over 400,000 CMP trucks were manufactured in Canada, accounting for roughly h alf of the 815,729 military vehicles made in Canada during World War II .

  • Page 7 This kit is not difficult to build, and there are not many small parts and PE bits to deal with. The main thing is to keep the right angles where required. If some parts warp, they can be easily straightened with use of hot water or hair dryer. Many of the parts are very thin and pretty flexible to work with, and with a little bit of hot water they can be perfectly straightened or bent.
