British aUssie and Canadian. infact its also US and after Normandy escapade even the Germans kept some for themselves ! Aussie carriers have different headlights really horrid the front plate looks a bit different and the idler wheel assembly is different too. The carriers to get are the canadian ones as they had 80bhp out of the same V8 flat head due to better cams etc. Iam in process of getting a Canadian Mk1 Bren brought back to UK fingers crossed !!
@cavalier080854 The white star was an attempt to avoid getting shot up by trigger-happy americans (STILL a problem in the 'Ghan) - the Empire troops hated having it on their vehicles and usually painted it on 'crooked', or painted a very small star inside a very large white circle.
Congratulations on your "factory fresh" Universal Carrier.
I am familiar with time and effort you have put in to this project and hopefully with this video, (and maybe another highlighting engine, No. 19 Set, and all the other kit you have) this pristine, rolling piece of history will earn the respect it deserves.
She certainly has a sweet note off her. Our windsor sounds like that after a good churn around! A beautiful example mate, should be very proud of her

I would sell a testicle to have one of these. Not mine of course. But someones.
My Boys would look good hanging out the front like some ATK regiments did in Africa.
Really impressive mate, 3 thumbs up!

The star was general identification of allies for the Normandy landings,but was soon removed as the Germans used it as a target!

Why is there a US star on this? Didn't know if we lent/gave them any.
