IBG 72017 Chevrolet C15A No.11 Cab Personnel Lorry 1/72 – plastic model kit

The IBG 72017 Chevrolet C15A No.11 Cab Personnel Lorry model in 1/72 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit that faithfully reproduces one of the most versatile military vehicles used during World War II. The Chevrolet C15A No.11 Cab is a 15 cwt truck (approximately 700 kg payload), manufactured in Canada under the CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) program and widely employed by Commonwealth forces, including Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and the Polish Armed Forces in the West.

This vehicle became a hallmark of Allied logistics from 1941 until the end of World War II. The No.11 Cab version was one of the first cab variants, featuring a distinctive straight-lined shape that facilitated mass production. The Chevrolet C15A served in North Africa, Italy, and during the Normandy landings, being used for transporting troops, ammunition, supplies, as well as serving as platforms for numerous specialized superstructures.
