My 1/6th MkII Carrier a WIP
I've always wanted a MkII Carrier in 1/6th scale and since a pre-built one is so expensive I decided I would build one from scratch. I scaled up the tree layout on the 1/35 Tamyia MkII Carrier plans and then recalculated for 1/6th. I made bristalboard templates as I went along so I can build another one day. Here are some pics of the basic bare hull with a couple of the 1st Hussars checking it out. Comments welcomed

if the quality of the Hussars is anything to go bye, the finished article will be superb.

I'm trying to find something close to the track on a carrier in 1/16th to use on my carrier. I think the pzr3 track is too narrow, The tiger1 track is about the right width but the tread pattern is wrong so I may have to comprimise on that. RC woud be nice I have a spare set of gearboxes for the HL tanks and electronics. The carrier so far is very light so that might work out ok

iam probably wrong, but without checking my manual the mk1 and mk2 track are the same ? and off the top of my head they are 9.5 " wide with a pitch of arund 1.75" if i recal correctly.
