That Carrier is a MK3 and was used for some experimental purpose. It's in the Tank museum at Bovington.

Update:
Well the work continues. Here a few of the Hasty-P's check out the progress on their new carrier. I have added the upper sides of the gunner's shield, added the rear fenders, added the rear lower backplate. I've also constructed the engine and rad cover, but still has further work to go on that. The men of the Hasty-P's are pleased with the work on their new carrier and will be letting RSM Duffy(GOD) know. Here are the pics:

Update:
After looking for spare rc Stuart roadwheels and finding none I figured the next best thing was to make my own. So I took the un-used spare road wheel that I didn't use on my Stuart and modified it for use on my carrier. I know the carriers use a 6 spoked wheel but for now 5 spoked wheels will do. I made a silicone mold of the modified road whell and and did a test pour of the road wheel useing polyester resin. I'm pleased with the results. Here is a pic of the mold, the original wheel, and a 1st pour from the mold. I inserted sections of straightened out paper clips in each of the spokes before the resin cured.

very good matey, i was looking at the section on the HL panzer /stug track and it looks very very close to the carrier, you would have to change your scale though.

Well my carrier has to be 1/6th so the pzr3 track is out as it would be way too narrow so the 1/16th tiger1 track will have to do. I'm still debateing whether to use the 5 spoked wheels or re-work the master to a 6 spoked wheel. The only other 1/6th carrier being sold has the same 5 spoked wheels and it is a "one-of" item

Just don't let the RSM see Pvt. Bloggins with his helve stuffed under the flap of his haversack!

Well the carrier is finished and ready for Jack to pick it up. He will add the unit markings and crew the carrier. Here it is with the side skits added, the rest of the rivits added, and paint touched up.
