Just wondering if anyone can provide a link to some close up photos of this model? Tried searching, all I can find is the image on the CR Hobbies website, which isn't all that clear. |

I believe this is a picture of one: link His WWII line is (or was) the old Custom Cast figs from back in the day, so they are (were) noticeably smaller than what is made today. I talked to him a few years ago and he spoke about remaking some of the line. I don't have any idea how far he got with that. |

The picture shown by 79thPA shows a Carden Loyd machine gun carrier as used by the BEF and early 8th Army. |

Thanks for the replies everyone. I am a bit confused myself now. The Carden Loyd carrier in bc1745's post is different to what is shown (although described as that) on the CR Hobbies website. The photo in bc1745's post looks like an early war machine. I was after something for late war. Looking more like the Universal Carrier. The Forged in Battle (B19) Lloyd Carrier would be perfect, although I wanted one not mounted on a base. |

Think BF do a Loyd also check out Old Glory (Command Decision) and QRF chances are one of those make one.
Can't get 79th link to expand but that is certainly a early carrier probably a Bren as bc says either way no use for late war |

Had a look on the CR Hobbies website what they call a "Universal" isn't its a Bren Carrier the Loyd is a Loyd tho' as you say the photo is not much use.
BTW QRF do make a Loyd , OG don't |
