More of the PSC carrier variants finished, first one the artillery spotter vehicle. Paints and decals as my previous carriers.
Once assembled, it makes quite a nice vehicle, although the size difference in figures between the officer spotter figure (from the variant set) and other crew (from the standard vehicle sprue) is quite noticeable.
The spotter version uses a different front armour plate with the Bren port welded over and a winch mounted in front.
An extending ladder attached to the side makes the vehicle very distinctive, as well as providing handy access to trees and bomb/shell damaged buildings.
Rear equipment stowage includes another winch, spare radio batteries and several large equipment panniers/boxes.
I am quite pleased with how this vehicle turned out in the end.
Then next up, a Wasp flamethrower carrier.
I think this is meant to be a Mk II variant, the Mk IIC for Canadian with large rear external tank and third crew man rather than two internal tanks.
If it's the Mk IIC, then it shouldn't really be allocated to 7th AD.
An interesting vehicle requiring some tactical skill to get it within range of a suitable target. On the whole, I think I'd prefer to be sitting inside the better armour of a Churchill Crocodile.
Thanks for looking.
