Carriers

This week sees the completion of a Universal Carrier (complete with recce team), a Loyd Carrier, and M9A1 halftrack. All are in the markings of 1st Rifle Brigade which was the motorised infantry battalion of 7th Armoured Division. The Loyd Carrier acted as the prime mover for the 6pdr anti-tank gun.

The carrier recce team consists of a Bren gun team and a junior leader. The leader is a cut down Peter Pig figure, while the remaining three figures are made from two part putty with heads from Peter Pig. These guys can nip around the battlefield and jump out as required.
