A brief Google has led me to nothing here; but I'm after some Universal Carriers to use for FoW; but I cannot find any available in 15mm that aren't single piece casts with a moulded on base.

I really hate bases on vehicles so I'm hoping some of you guys may be able to point me in the right direction?

Battlefront used to make them with metal tracks and here's one (a pair of Mortar carriers) on ebay. If you keep your eyes open you might find more there from time to time,

Ops, link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flames-Of-War-BR213-Mortar-Carrier-/271414454267?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item3f318fe7fb

Personally, for the very light vehicles, I find bases advantageous, I've even been know to add them to plastic Zvezda models to add stability.

Skytrex has them two for £6 + p&p as well:

Well, Plastic soldier company "will" be making some, at some point. Could be a long wait, but there won't likely be any bases.

Thanks for the links Bezerker! I might wait for the PSC ones; currently I only need a couple, but I eventually want to run a platoon of 12 as well; and at £3 a piece from Skytrex they're a mite expensive for that.

I might pick up a pair from them as a test though; thanks guys!

EDIT: Whilst I'm at it, does anyone know where to get a bunch of Quads and limbers? Again, I'll need quite a few of them and the BF ones are a bit pricey.

I don't think the PSC versions are sure to arrive any time soon. They've been in the "coming soon" section for quite a while but projecting their price from that of their 1/72 box set (expect £15+ for five or £3+ each) they look like they may actually be a bit more expensive then the Battlefront models and, for that reason, I doubt they will be top priority.
