Ooh I'm liking Bronco more and more. The Humber was a favorite Matchbox model :-)

Pretty cool! Can this be converted to the Canadian "Fox" carrier?

no, not really.

While they looked very similar, pretty much everything about the Fox was different than the Humber. Not just the chassis lengths and such, but the exact shapes and sizes of the hull and turret panels are all different. Even the small stuff like headlights and tool clamps are different being from Canadian sources.

And I'm pretty sure the Fox used a .50 cal and .30 cal Browning instead of the BESAs.

You are spot on about the American arms on the Fox.

Numbers are cool in a big, clunky way, especially the later variants with the Crusader turrets. Might have to get one of these.
