Go through assembly guide before you start your work. Some gates are larger, because we don´t want
any ejector marks on parts, and also very thin true-to scale parts require larger gates to avoid filling
issues, you need to use a little razor blade and sharp scalpel to remove these parts carefully.
Images in rows one by one show usually one small assembly step
Heat up PE parts with lighter before use, brass will soften and become easy to bend and work with.
Gunze  Mr. Cement or Tamiya Super Thin Glue recommended for plastic parts, let the glue work for a few 
seconds, then push parts together, melted plastic will fill the gaps between parts. You can also melt 
sprue frame and use it as an amazing filler for small works, or use this glue to wash out tiny seam lines 
on little parts or make  texture on some parts etc.

The  Canadian  Military  Pattern  truck  was  a  class  of  military  trucks  made  in  large  numbers  in  Canada  during  World  War  II 
to  British Army  specifications    for  use    in  the  armies  of  the  British  Commonwealth  allies.  Standard  designs  were  drawn  up  just 
before  the  beginning  of  the  war.  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.  Most  CMP  trucks  were 
manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors of Canada Ltd and by the Ford Motor Company of Canada. Just over 
400,000 CMP trucks were manufactured in Canada,  accounting for roughly half of the 815,729 military vehicles made in Canada
during World War II. The Ford-built CMP trucks had a 239 cu in (3.9 L), 95 bhp (70.8 kW) V8 engine. Cab design changed  twice, 
first  designed at Ford, second  and third cab designs  - called No. 11, 12 and 13. First two type were similar, the main difference 
being a two-part radiator grille in   No.12 cab, its upper part was  opened with a bonnet, which was known as the "Alligator cab". 
The production of CMP truck bodies in Canada was subcontracted out to smaller companies in Ontario and Manitoba, organized
  into  the  wartime  Steel  Body  Manufacturers Association  by  the  Department  of  Munitions  and  Supply.    The  wide  variety  of  truck 
body  designs  included  general  service,  water  tanker,  fuel  tanker,  vehicle  recovery,  dental  clinic,  mobile  laundry,  wireless  house, 
machinery, folding boat transport, and anti-tank gun  portee. F15 Ford was often seen in desert service with top of the cab removed
