This is the universal carrier as I built it with the detailed suspension.
The real model looks much better than the close up picture.

I was impressed by the snug fit of the track over the suspension.
The track is glued to the suspension at one point only but the fit is so tight that glue was not really necessary.

The gun port in front was cut out so that a Boys antitank rifle or Bren gun can be installed in the future.

I still need to touch up the edges with olive drab or dark grey paint.
There is a lot of white showing inside the driver's compartment which should be touched up with olive drab paint.

The detail parts have not been attached yet but the vehicle could be used in a game as is.

The only part that caused me trouble was #6 because I did not know what to do with the white spot.
I put the white spot in back behind the tool box which did not work well because the tool box is too short to cover the white spot completely.

At any rate, this is a very valuable addition to the collection of 1/72 vehicles.
The 1/76 scale Airfix Bren Carrier is really slightly small for a 1/72 scale game.
