Based on the classic British Universal Carrier Mk II, these two new models will be a welcome addition to the forces of His Majesty's Commonwealth! The first vehicle mounts a 3″ mortar and a staggering amount of ammunition, whilst the second vehicle mounts the ubiquitous Vickers Medium Machine gun, which will give you all the mobile firepower your brave Tommies will need as they take the fight to Jerry. They are now ready to be added to your British or Commonwealth forces!

3" Mortar Carrier

With loads of space for stowing prodigious amount of ammunition, the Universal Carrier was a highly maneuverable option for 3″ mortar teams and performed very well during the war.

The model comes with three extra metal crew; and all four Tommies have separate heads, allowing you to easily turn this into a vehicle in use by the Indians, Airborne, Australians, etc., by the swap of a head!

Mounting the classic Vickers Medium Machine gun, the MMG Carrier could put firepower where it was needed quickly. The Vickers MMG could be fired from the back of the carrier or dismounted and redeployed on the stowed tripod in familiar fashion.

As with the Mortar Carrier, this model comes with three extra British/Canadian crew - and again have separate heads, allowing for plenty of conversion opportunities.

And let's not forget the Universal Carrier in its normal guise – that of a troop carrier! With 113,000 vehicles produced during the war, it was the most widely produced fighting vehicle in history, seeing action with Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and Russian forces, in addition to those in the British Army.
