Plastic Soldier Company 1/72 Universal Carrier BEF


Recommended Posts

A little side project of mine, as I found the PSC carrier quite nice for its scale and begging to receive some details.

Details from Milicast (Bren MG), Mars (bags and packs) or scratch.

 

This little guy is part of a developing diorama „On the road to Dunkerque“ which I MAY finish within this decade .....

Nice job.  PSC make some very nice wargaming models - I have about 4 sets to make up, including Universal Carriers with 6 pounders - but in 15mm.

 

Not sure how some of the fine detail, like the wing mirrors, will survive the tabletop.

 

Cheers,

Very good model! And the idea of "Road to Dunkirk" diorama sounds tasty!

Thanks! It‘s a rather big undertaking.......

So far I have the Carrier, an A 13 and a 2pdr ready. In the works are an ACE  Austin Tourer(the Monthy Pythonish element in the hodgepogde) and some Bull Models gems: Humber wireless/bash with ACE and maybe two Morrises.....(truck and Command Car).

Everything enlivened by Zvezda, Milicast and Wee Friends BEF troops. 

 

I was thinking about adding a few displaced French units but that would probably postpone the finish to roundabout 2035.

Still, I find these RPM R-35s quite tempting.......😄

Good idea! But be careful - RPM R35 are nice and detailed, but have awful tracks. Take Hotchkiss instead.

ACE makes also nice Vickers Mk.VI and French AT cannons.

I’m about to build one of these little carriers having purchased one from Fleabay. However there are no instructions so it looks like time to scour the internet for what I can find. I have to say you’ve made a great job of yours, it looks amazing.

cheers
