Carrier on Milweb

[martyn]

I do understand theres a special feeling knowing that your military vehicle was used and has seen some kind of action be it in ww2 or the gulf.
This new hull is not ment nor was it our intention to slip it in to the market as a original. I would like to think who ever buys it will have just as much fun using it as i will have with mine.
keeping history alive its the same as watching a ww2 living history group most kit and uniforms are repro but we all accept this and nobody argues about it i have a friend who has a stuart m5 the turret is a compleete repro with original parts on it you wouldnt know with out asking?
I would like to thank all the people who have spurd me on with the great comments about the rebuild of my carrier and the new build project, I have gained a new look on the war years whilst building these vehicles that is about the people and time it takes to build such a vehicle i would like to think this new build is a testerment to the hidded forces who spent long dirty days in factorys all over with out them where would we be to day?
If it sounds like iam a ranting idiot so be it iam proud of my progress with my carrier and the new build project at the end of the day we have acheived sumthing that a lot of people could only dream of we have built a vehicle that we wanted.

Here Here. Mine is all original and I would park it beside yours with honour.

Martyn, are you sure that is all you want for her ? cheaper than a family saloon !

value is in the eye of the beholder, iam sure Martyn would advise any prospective buyer that the carrier is scratch built. infact this makes a great selling point (only Mk1 ever done) so it is unique, yes it has not fought in any wars however many carriers original or otherwise never made it to the front lines most out there have been surplus often bought up at the end of the war by forestry or mining authorities. i say this as a general rule as i know that my grandads regiment give they're carriers to the russians at the end of his tour....so they will all be destroyed by now i suppose.

if i had the cash Martyn i would have it mind rightly or wrongly it would be to pillage the armour from it, i am sorry your predicament means the sale of this but needs must and all that.......anyway you and Shaun will look better in convoy with ure fancy Mk2's hahahaha

still a good buy i reckon guys a nice clean one to work on !


cheers
