Real name is 'Chenillette' not "Universal Scout Carrier'.

Looking really good. Weathering and tarpaulin are very convincingly recreated. (BTW - according to your description it is 1:72nd but all the given reference links suggest 1:35th scale...)

You are quite correct, Robert, but this vehicle is soo small, I keep forgetting. The tracks are only approx 5.5mm wide.

I know that - here in Poland we had similar "tankettes/chenillettes" - TKS - and when I saw the one preserved "in the flesh", I could not imagine how anyone would be willing to get into the battle sitting inside these contraptions. From my perspective TKS seemed smaller than my Fiat Panda 😉 Great work on this model, congrats, Bruce!

Many thanks for your generous praise, but I wish I could remedy mistakes in the suspension, and of course the tracks..... Ah well, next time ?

Album info

First attempt with length and link tracks, at such a small size. A lot of cleaning up was required, but I can't blame that for my poor results...

Interestingly, this is the only set of instructions that I have come across, where the diagrams are clearly drawn by hand!
