India Pattern Carrier
I was planning purchases for my Operation Crusader operational game, and as 4th Indian Div was one of the participants, I 'needed' an Indian Pattern Carrier, which I'm going to use for the divisional recce battalion (as it was configured as a Motor Infantry Battalion, not a Divisional Cavalry Regiment). I ordered one from BPM along with some other stuff.
And what a beautiful model it is. This is a resin one, so more expensive but just look at all those rivets!
It is just lovely, really crisp and captures the feel of the original so well.
It has nice internal detail too. The driver is a PP 'Seated British' figure in a tin hat, and the other guy is a spare PP mortar (?) crewman - he is equipped as an officer anyway.
This was a joy to paint. I did my usual coat of Light Stone, a dark brown inkwash then a heavy drybrush of Light Stone and a light drybrush of Pale Sand and it brought the rivets and hard edges out really well. What a beauty, can't wait to get it on the table.
