This is a remix of the 1-100 "NZ Wheeled Carrier" from M Bergman's treasure trove.

I upscaled the model to 28mm for use in Bolt Action gaming. Bergman's model was a one piece print. I removed the wheels; extended the axles and created new wheels with hub recesses. I cleaned up the crew compartment, by flattening the floor and creating a small "nub" at the right crew of the open compartment, to allow mounting a pintle LMG. In the photo of my print I added a Boys ATR out the front glacis plate and a Bren gun on the pintle mount.

In Bolt Action these have the same point cost and capacity as a Bren / Universal Carrier (can carry up to five men, armour of 7+). They do have the advantage of wheels, so on the right table can scoot up to 48".

The actual vehicle was used in the Middle East, Italy and the Far East by Indian and other Commonwealth Armies. They were also used post war by the Dutch in the East Indies and even a few in Korea by the New Zealand troops taking part in that conflict.

the brief history of the vehicle is provided here
