Oxford Tracks Carrier
Replacement for the Universal Carrier right at the end of the war.
It might have seen action... but it might not!

Used in Korea and as a tow for 6pdrs and 17pdrs and a light APC with 20mm armour.

Looking good.

Lovely! A real pity no bugger makes decent figures for Korea.

Plan is to start the tracks today.

(Also need to review the Centurion make sure I've actually finished it...)

Centurion has been undercoated to look for defects... but I think it's done!

As for the Oxford:

Lasery bits:

Horstmanny bits

And as if by magic:

Rich,

I think this is probably my favorite build of yours so far I've only recently made a universal so I can appreciate how tidy a model this is ( great minds and so on,I used pretty much the same solution for the springs on my universal.)
Definitely my favorite.
Mark.

I didn't even know about the Oxford - and it looks brilliant.

The suspension looks really good.

My assumption has always been that the upper hull shape was specific to the gun tractor, and the carrier had more space for troops.

Rich H · « **Reply #11 on:** February 20, 2017, 10:00:25 AM »

I assumed the same but it doesn't look like it - not seen any variants at all. They all seem the same 5+1 capacity

It's looking great, would it be rude to ask for a tarp top?

Rich H · « **Reply #13 on:** February 20, 2017, 04:29:09 PM »

I can have a go.... I'll copper wire the frames and make sockets on the model for them then greenstuff a tarp I suppose?
