panzerjager bren project
starting my next project. going to build a pazerjager bren as used by the 3rd panzergrenadier division in Italy 1944. starting off with what i believe is a 1942 uc. it appears to have most of the drive line components, track and road wheels. no armor or creature comforts. this is what i hope to make it look like.

the engine has a rebuild tag on it, the date 1962. it will be interesting to see what is inside it.

It does look like you have portions of a lower hull Canadian production UC MK-I*. I wager the date in the engine rebuild tag may read 1952 instead of 1962? If I can be so bold to suggest a good start may be to remove and dispose of those upper front plates with something new and more correct appearing?
Best wishes with your project Leo. Have fun! If you still have the truck, it may be able to transport the panzerjager bren project? Last edited by Michael R.; 20-03-18 at 04:44. |

i'll have to check out the tag again. as for the armor it will need a lot of clean up. (thats why i'm here on MLU.) funny you should mention transport i recently saw a trailer made specifically for towing UC's. it was being towed by a FL60(?) sized truck and though i could do that. unfortunately we got more snow coming so it's going to be a few weeks before i move the UC out of storage and up to the work pad.
