Tamiya 148. Universal carrier Mk. II in soviet service

Post by kruaxi »

Just finished another little job for wargaming.
It's the classical Universal carrier. I made it for my Red Army…
Markings are fictional (but plausible); driver came from Warlord, the other is a Bad Squiddo's miniature: female both.
Replaced original weapons with russians'.

That is an excellent Carrier with its crew of army ladies, Kruaxi and what a great looking collection of wargame figures you have there.

A grand job on the carrier and you have amassed a considerable army of reds there too.

Beautiful work! The figures are especially impressive, as usual.

The carrier is excellent and as usual your figures have such character and animation!
Best wishes
