That's an impressive set of options in one box, on my list for salute |
Dwindling Gravitas | 27 Mar 2017 5:00 a.m. PST |
How many are there really? The box states 6. The text states 9. The photo on the cutting mat shows 7. The bottom photo shows 8. Or am I just having an elderly moment? I'm thinking it's six (with options for variants, but only enough parts for 6…) |

There are definitely NINE in the box Bottom pic shows each sprue has options to build one of eight versions of the carrier and there are nine sprues in the box Originally we were planning six in a box but Battlefront announced there would be nine in their future box, so – hey presto! |

A veritable swarm of Wasps! |

These look very nice. How many do you need for a carrier platoon? |

I don't play Brits, and I don't need carriers, but I am going to buy these anyways because they are awesome!!!!! |

Shouldn't be too difficult to bodge a Boys ATR. Cut down the Bren magazine and extend the barrel with a bit of wire. |

I notice no rear mounting stirrups on the sides, was that just a feature of earlier carriers? |

10 for a carrier platoon. 3 sections of 3 plus one for the Pln CO. But I'm not complaining. Whatever number you choose will be niggle someone. |

will these make it to 1/72???? |
Col Piron | 28 Mar 2017 7:47 p.m. PST |
will these make it to 1/72???? They are already are available in 1/72 |
SquireBev | 29 Mar 2017 1:33 a.m. PST |
They are already are available in 1/72 Not with all the options, though. The 1/72 kit is a few years old, and only includes the basic carrier. |
