Steve Steve, It's not: MiniCams have that truck in their catalog but in a 1/50 scale only (see below):  Other French modelers, like LBS or Perfex, produce it in a 1/43 scale with tipping or recovery bodies: this one looks like a LBS unit. I hope this helps. Guy

Steve, The combination is a Willeme LC 610 4x2 tractor towing a Fruehauf 2-axle semi-trailer:  The model was first made early sixties by Dinky Toys France, but with a 1/55 scale Willeme towing a 1/50 Fruehauf. That one was produced by Ixo in a consistent 1/43 scale for one of the Altaya collections. To see more about it: https://www.carmodel.com/fr/edicola/semi-rem001/1-43/willeme/lc610-truck-semi-remorque-transport-du-cerf-1952/84975Ixo are producing quite a lot of these (nicely-made) 1/43 models, to be sold exclusively by press groups. I hope this helps. Guy
