Tamiya 35249 - 1/35 British Universal Carrier Mk.II Heritage Build Kit  [35249]

Study of the Universal Carrier Mk.II in 1/35 scale

The British Universal Carrier Mk.II was introduced in 1942 as a small, tracked workhorse for the British army. This Tamiya 1/35 scale kit reproduces the vehicle's compact silhouette and service role with careful plastic detail, making it a solid pick for military model builders focused on accuracy.

Wartime service and operational role

Deployed from North Africa through to northwest Europe, the Universal Carrier Mk.II filled reconnaissance and light support duties, transporting troops and kit over rough ground. The kit reflects the carrier's adaptable layout and low profile in a compact scale.

Assembly features and display value

The Tamiya kit gives a comprehensive build experience with finely moulded parts and flexible track sections. Five crew figures are included to populate dioramas, and four decal schemes let builders portray different unit markings and theatres.
