Hetzers?,I thought universal carriers were your weakness Peter?,I must be a rarity because ive only ever made 2 German ww2 tanks,V old Tamiya Tiger 1 and ancient Brumbar!!

Hi Richard

Hetzers were a real weakness, and I made most of the main variants. Carriers have been a passion for years but I disliked the tamiya version - especially the dreadful tracks. Resincaste produced some nice variants but i could never get on with their resin tracks so building universal carriers never progressed past gathering reference materials. This changed with the Riich kits, giving me the opportunity to indulge myself, which I am starting to do.

Sounds good to me.Everyone in our Model club has gone 1.16th mad.John brought in the Gecko 1.16th carrier to a show 2 weeks ago.Looked great and he hopes more versions.Think the 3d people will have a field day.Maybe deep wading stacks and dare we say Wasp maybe.
Hope to see you at Telford!.
