Universal Carrier
I got this Warlord kit to provide transport for a 5 man section of Royal Engineers that I have yet to paint. I wanted to include some engineers after seeing the rules for them in the Western Desert campaign book. When the D-Day Overlord campaign book arrived, I no longer needed to adapt rules for them because there was an airborne RE section entry included which was practically identical. Regardless, the section still needs painting, but their transport is raring to go, so I chuck the 5 man Intelligence section in it for now.
I painted the passenger's BD jackets in Denison smock camo colours. I know its the wrong style and cut, but for gaming purposes it works just fine for me. I wanted to add clutter to the vehicle to make it feel lived in, adding packs, jerry cans and rifles to the interior. Airborne carriers, like their jeeps, needed some parts removed to fit them into a Hamilcar glider. As a result, this carrier doesn't have the track guards at the front or the bulky headlamp by the gunner.
