Description:

Universal Carrier I Mk.I with Boys AT rifle

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a British WWII Universal Carrier (also known as Bren Carrier) fitted with a Boys AT rifle instead of the typical Bren machine gun.

Boys AT rifle was a British WWII anti tank rifle, caliber 0.55in (14mm). It was useful against light tanks or tankettes in the early war, but was phased out for the late war in favor of the PIAT. During Korean war the U.S. army experimented with it fitting a sight and using it in snipers teams.

Kit includes decal sheet for 6 markings, including Canadian, British, Polish (Polish Armed Forces in the West), Soviet (Lend Lease) and Wehrmacht captured.
