discussion Tamyia 1/35 Universal Carrier

[EBAR]

While 1/35 is not generally my go to scale I've always had a soft spot for the Universal Carrier. There are a couple of errors. I could not for love nor money get the glacis plate to entirely meet the lower front plate and broke the loop on the left trace, so had to glue it. But on the whole, an enjoyable build.

Very nice turn out there
Right with you on the Carriers soft spot, having done four-or-five 28mm conversions so far, but yet to do an actual Universal! And then there's that 1/6 scale all metal kit...

Every time I see one of these Tamiya jobs there's a different set of figures with it!

I think Tamyia has at least a couple of carrier kits, this one - recon kit - has crew figures for North Africa and North West Europe. So definitely room for variation.
