AndrewCJ50 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Dear Colleagues The Universal Carrier was a truly British vehicle. No other nation in WWII had anything quite like it. Capable of bringing up ammunition under fire, evacuating the wounded and leading assaults, it was the maid of all work for a Commonwealth Infantry Battalion. Riich make a lovely example although don't expect to complete it in a weekend! Having read the book 'Lion Rampant' about life in the 6th KOSB I had to choose this one from the Riich decal sheet. Yetholm is of course on the Scottish borders. Hope you like it? Andrew 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairtrigger Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Brilliant piece of work..... Figures look superb and excellent presentation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewCJ50 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Yes, the figures are Miniart The main thing I recall with the build is patience. Don't recall any fit issues, less fiddly than Miniart. Bless them for length and link tracks. Regards Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Excellent model - one of the best carriers I've seen. The figures and groundwork are top notch too. I've always wanted to do one of these but have been put off by the tiny track links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
