AFV News have posted Riich Model 1/35 scale "
Universal Carrier Mk.I BuildUp Images" on their website. There are 12 photos in total.
The Universal Carrier, also known (incorrectly) as the Bren Gun Carrier is a common name describing a family of light armoured tracked vehicles built by Vickers-Armstrong. Produced between 1934 and 1960, the vehicle was used widely by British Commonwealth forces during the Second World War. Universal Carriers were usually used for transporting personnel and equipment, mostly support weapons, or as machine gun platforms. With some 113,000 built in the United Kingdom and abroad, it was the most produced armoured fighting vehicle in history.

Think of the UC in similar roles as the German SdKfz 251, only smaller. They are both mass produced during World War 2. We are bound to find them in any theater of war in WW2.
