Hi not my favourite vehicle but hey have you done a great job on what in my opinion is quite a boring vehicle. When i think about it though it was a very important part in moving troops forward. Love the painting of the riffles and the newspaper great touch !

A nice little builds... even more so when you realise that it is a RC model as well! Thanks for sharing

Cheers,

Wow! That's a very nice looking Universal Carrier! Did you use the Tamiya Forced Recon kit, as that is the one that I used in mine https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/134170&page=1
I didn't see any markings on yours, so I'm wondering what division you modeled yours after? i made mine one of the Lord Strathcona's Horse Division, one that is at the Museum of the Regiments.

Great job!

Yes, double O seven,
I used the same Tamiya kit but I have not decided on the markings yet.
Your version is not bad at all except you did not have a good camera like mine

Yeah, I haven't yet discovered a good setting on my camera for models, but it takes fantastic pictures!

I love the little book, very nice indeed, though the kit looks a little glossy in my opinion, what do you think?

That's because I do not have a decent air-brush. Also there is no big hobby

shop around to buy Tamiya's can-sprays most of the time. Any spraying was

done with the cheap sprays. I am lucky if no lumps came out on & off when

the can is not rently bought . Also the lighting for the camera work would

make it shinier if you know what I mean
