Very nice looking indeed, another cracker from Graham. Al

Al, you're the UC expert-- if I'm only going to build one carrier, which way should I go? The Tamiya kit with an upgrade, or this type of thing? The price difference would be weighed against how much of a headache the upgrade would be. I'm thinking Normandy or NA dio potential.

The Tamiya kit with one of the Resicast upgrades. Alternatively, the alternative is considering a Resicast or AA full kits which means you can start looking at the 'juicier' items such as Loyds or Windsors.

Hi Bill, There is a lot of choice in the upgrades. For a standard Universal Carrier Mk II, then this looks like a good set giving you the option of a Command or Standard Carrier: I haven't built this set yet but it looks to be as good as the rest. LINK Other conversions are for the Vickers MG Carrier or 3in Mortar carrier and the MK I Universal Carrier, which is a nice unusual one. An interesting alternative is the AOP Carrier which comes with an open engine and is one I've yet...
