Bren Gun Carrier in 1/72 scale
The good plastic
kit of this known British WW2 vehicle is not available on the market,
except kit by Airfix that is not necessary to comment. Therefore I have
decided to scratchbuild complete new model according production drawings,
and manuals for production of real vehicle. The lower part of the body and
interior are scratchbuilt of plastic sheets and the side, front and back
armor are scratchbuilt of aluminous sheets including necessary rivets. The
chassis is also complete scratchbuilt, inclusive wheels and levers. The
interior is equipped with necessary accessories, crew weapons and
equipment, radio and cans. My model is the copy of 1/35 scale kit by
Tamyia 1/35 miniaturized to 1/72 scale The vehicle was designed to tows 6.pdr. field gun therefore my is doing
same work! J It took me about 100 hours to complete this model. P.S. This model won IPMS UK championship in 1998.
