Hi Mike,

That looks great, I really like it! The detail is superb.

How was the build, any problems? What Green did you use?

The Ferret is a cracking vehicle to build... And drive. Great fun, especially with the "inverse" steering wheel. :-)

What's the yellow round thing next to the wire reel? If it's a rotating hazard light then I would say that it's far too big. I would expect a hazard light to be about 1/3 of the size of that one.

Hi Murdo,

I used model master Olive Drab #2050. The Lights about right-click the link to see his 1/1 ferret.

Man! I stand corrected! That hazard light looks HUGE on a Ferret! They always seem so small on Challengers / Warriors.

Perhaps they're a different size of light.

If lights on Police cars are any indication they were alot bigger in the 60s than the 90s... At least they seemed it to me.

Nice ---drove and commanded one for many moons ----?Is that a R S D G decal?----
Mmmmmmmm!! brings back memories of Aden --4/7 R D G 's ----looooong time ago
Never carried a "winky-blinky "-----but thats progress --something more to cover up :-) :-) :-)

Mike, that was a superb finished on one of my favourite vehicle.
The only things beside the lights is the flag. Looks like it's too thick...the rest are superb!!!
So how was the AA Ferret kit? i've been planned for years to buy this expensive resin kit but my budget doesnt allow me. My father used to maintance and drive it when he was at the Electrical Engineer and Machinery Corp..He told me how fun and easy he was with the ferret.

Hi Gents,

That is indeed a RSDG insig on the turret face the flag is a bit thick but it's simply printed an cheap computer paper and folded over. As a matter of fact all of the markings are simply printed on computer paper and applied with future. I believe the "whoopie light" had to be installed so it can be driven on the streets and roads here in the US . The kit itself was a bit of a chore as usual with AA kits. Lots of cleanup and trying to figure the instructions out (bad enough on a simple kit but this kit has instructions incorporated throughout for 1 of 3 versions!) Ian did point out that I forgot the sand channel keeper onners but I was waiting to get the base that mysteriously dissapeared from FedEx and by the time the 2nd came I'd forgot about them-no worry though 2 made up in my room and will post tomorrow. Ians Brit vehicle is a bit bigger than mine though....
