The Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck was one of Canada's most important contributions to victory in the Second World War. By September 1945, Canada had produced roughly 850,000 vehicles for the Allies, 410,000 of which were CMP trucks. There are many ways that you can customize your 1/48 scale CMP truck, but here is a quick video with a few ideas: North African CMP FAT

The Fox Armoured Car was a Canadian-made adaptation of the British Humber Armoured Car. The Canadian vehicle was adapted to fit onto the chassis of a Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck and was manufactured in Oshawa, Ontario. Typically, the Fox operated on roads; however, it had excellent off-road capabilities. The Fox carried a crew of four and was armed with a .50 and .30 calibre machine guns.
The Canadian Tank Museum in Oshawa houses one of the few remaining operational Fox Armoured Cars, which itself is a combat veteran of the Italian Campaign.
