Scale?

Seems 1:35, looking at the partnumber on the side, and in the lower right corner of the box front.

EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it!
“Someone” was obviously taking a well deserved nap when the news appeared back in July

Alright, stop laughing! Yes, you at the back - I see you!
I couldn’t read anything in the pic, and didn’t look at the Armorama page, so thought it best to ask. And I too missed the July thread…

All right! CAMs makes such good models. They rival Tamiya for fit and finish and totally blow them away for detail.

Can’t wait. Been hoping for one of these in plastic for decades,

Ohhhh. I see now. This is another World War II British truck built to military pattern and really a Bedford OXT (30 CWT). GS just means General Service which is not very helpful at all. Cannot keep this stuff straight.
Does any online store in the United States carry Combat Armour Models? I am only finding them on eBay.
Note to anyone thinking to start a model company–make sure your company name is a unique search term. Do not shoot yourself in the foot by making it hard for potential customers to find your products.

The oblique box is a measures intended to provide you with sufficient information while maintaining the confidentiality of the product, such as the 3Decals choice shown on the upper parts.(There are torally 6, 3 for early prod, 3 faor late prod)
The boxart is an Bedford OXD Mk I late production, Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps (red-yellow-blue flag on the door). The Corps were entrusted to the title “Royal” for the outstanding services in the battle of Hong Kong. The Corps finally become the Royal Hong Kong Regiment (Volunteers) where we came from.

That is great news! I’ve been hoping that Gecko might develop their MWD range to include the OXD/OXY but wasn’t holding my breath. The only other current alternative has been the MMK F3007 resin kit
but polystyrene will be preferable.
I had been under the impression that CAMs had closed up, so double good news.

Your wish…
My views below, based on having a few examples from each vendor…
Geko tend to do separate releases, but with often over complicated engineering.
The CAMS kit I have had over complicated engineering, and, as here do 2 in 1, but (I find) harder to source in the UK, your milage may vary.
I commend Cams for doing this, but Geko could have done this much earlier. I will get both, and eagerly wait for the 3T (LWB) versions.

I hope they also do a version with a Queen Mary trailer

Wait ages for a bus (or Bedford OXD) and then two turn up at the same time Likewise I’ll add at least one of each to the plastic motorpool. Fantastic, raining trucks
