Victrix: New 12mm Universal Carrier and 8th Army Update!


Victrix: Universal Carrier & 8th Army Update: Hot on the heels of the 12mm/1/144th US Airborne we are really excited to show you some images of the 12mm plastic Universal carrier.

These models are finished and just waiting on the packaging before release, so not too long to wait. The kit has lots of options to make your universal carriers with 50 cal machine guns, flame thrower options (both British and Canadian variants) Piats, antitank rifles, mortar, Vickers and Forward observation options, as well as the standard Bren carrier.

They have both European and Desert uniform options for the crews as we start to expand into the North African Desert. We have been busily working away on British 8th army infantry for the Desert. As well as the ordinary infantry shown, we have mortars, Vickers, officers, radio, 2 inch mortar, antitank rifles, mine detectors and officers and we will be including a 2 pdr Antitank gun plus crew. This will be a new addition to our normal sprue layouts for out 12mm infantry with the addition of the 2pdr. Once these are done we will be making a start on the Afrika Corps who will join our early version Panzer IV’S and 88mm which has German crew in Desert uniform. More 12mm models are in the pipeline so keep your eyes peeled.
