Universal Carrier 15th Scottish Division

[AndrewCJ50]

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?

Lovely build there 👌excellent light in those photos to. 

I have this in my stash. Got it for the rediculous amount of detail. What was it like to build? All those fiddly bits worth it?

Wonderful little rendition !!

[Matt P]

Very nice, and much more detail than the Tamiya kit too 👍. Are the figures from Miniart? 

[phildagreek]

Very smart!

[Hairtrigger]

Brilliant piece of work.....  Figures look superb and excellent presentation....

[AndrewCJ50]

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

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.

Excellent result - with super ground work and figures

I'm surprised we don't see more Riich Carriers

I love the way you showcased this build. The background is looks excellent. The lighting also helps to bring out all the finer features of this Universal Carrier. Very well done.

Glad you all appreciate the scenery!  I like to think it makes you believe in the vehicle as a character in the drama of history.

Have always loved this vehicle, has so many possibilities for conversion and paint jobs.Having built many over the years having started on the airfix 1/72 kit in the plastic bag as it came in the mid 1960s ,i must congratulate you on a beautiful piece of work well done 👏
