Darn,
Gecko are going to cost me a small fortune this year, first their PACV, and now this…and there was me trying to cut back, 
.
After the PACV, maybe they could produce some Vietnam Brown Water Navy vessels, 
…they do seem to introduce some unexpected kits, 
.
G,

I quite fancy this. Been considering making a 1/16 kit and hopefully this won’t break the bank nor take up to much shelf space.
Having seen a universal carrier in the flesh, I’ve no idea how anyone actually fitted in it to drive it

Got in the driver’s seat of one once. Not good for the knees!

Recommended Retail Price = £100. Reasonable??

The Chieftain has a video where he got behind (in some senses of the term) a universal carrier, winding up turned partially to the side. One of his videos on 'does the Chieftain fit in an X’.

Yes, he did that, too! Best left in the 90s.

Yep, I’ll be getting one of these, got’a love me a Uni Carrier. A retailer is already offering £88 for pre-orders.
Can put it next to my Pz.1, that’s about all I have room for in 1/16

RRP is £99 so if you find it at £50 - 60 snap it up.
