This is a new version of many Riich Universal Carrier’s and is the Airborne Version. The Universal carrier was changed to reduce its weight to enable it to be carrier in the Hamilcar Glider. This included removal and reduction of the armor plate and removal of all unnecessary equipment.
I had built the Tamiya Universal carrier many moons ago and I thought that was a great version but this excels in every area and now I must go and buy the other version of the Universal carrier released by rich.
The kit contains
- 7 sprues molded in light grey styrene
- 1 clear sprue
- 3 Photo Etch sheets
- 32 springs
- 1 decal sheet
- 1 instruction booklet.
Construction
The kit is includes a lot of unrequired parts as these are for the standard Universal carrier.
