Oxford Tracked Carrier

[Rich H]

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.

[Paul Hicks]

Loving it already.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Excellent.

[Stu]

Looking good.

[carlos marighela]

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

[Rich H]

Plan is to start the tracks today.

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

[Rich H]

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.

[Rich H]

Cheers! 

[Vanvlak]

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

[Ultravanillasmurf]

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]

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

[Ballardian]

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

[Rich H]

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?

[Andym]

 Nice work Rich!   I really must invest in laser cutter!
