The Bronco Models 1/35 British Loyd Carrier No.2 Mk.II (CB35188) is a highly detailed plastic model kit from Bronco Models, a Hong Kong–based manufacturer renowned for exceptional historical accuracy and fine surface detail.
The Loyd Carrier was a British tracked utility vehicle produced from 1939 to 1945, designed primarily for towing the 6-pounder anti-tank gun and carrying its crew and ammunition. Named after its designer Vivian Loyd, it was lighter and simpler than the Universal Carrier and served British, Canadian, and Commonwealth forces throughout the war in all theatres from North Africa to North-West Europe. The No.2 Mk.II was a later production variant with revised stowage and fittings. The Loyd Carrier played an important if unsung role in keeping anti-tank gun units mobile and in action.
