Universal Carrier Mk II – Part 2:Assembly

This is a big kit, in terms of the amount of plastic you get. I had to buy extra storage boxes to accommodate all the subassemblies! I thought the fit was very good overall. I have few complaints but what I have are … no decals for the instrument dials and radio, ambiguous instructions in places and insufficient information about the painting of parts. Otherwise, very nice, from a manufacturer previously unknown to me.

There is scope for extra detailing here if you wanted to and had the reference pictures to hand. I don’t have that many good ones in sufficient detail and therefore won’t be doing extra. There is enough to do already and I reckon it will look nice enough built from out of the box. Clearly, I will have to paint and weather the inside and subassemblies, assemble them all, mask them all and then paint the exterior. It could take a while…

  1. Wow, there looks to be a lot of fiddly bits there!
    I image at 1:16 though it’s quite a bit bigger than it seems.
