Indian Pattern Carrier
A the beginning of WW2, the UK was unable to provide enough suitable armoured vehicles for her colonies. This led to several of the Commonwealth countries designing and building their own, the Indian Pattern Carrier was one of these. Build on Ford or CMP chassis with an armoured super-structure built by Tata Locomotives.
The sturdy 4x4 vehicle, with a reasonable 50 MPH road speed was usually armed with a Bren gun, but Boys AT rifles where also used.
This model is from Early War Miniatures and comes ready build and stowed up - quite fantastic detail. You also get some crew and a selection of weapons in white metal.
To be different I`m going to use this as my Indian battalion command vehicle
Nice. I look forward to readying how they get on once they’ve seen action on the tabletop 😎
