gengriz Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I have wanted to build a Ferret for years, since I have very clear childhood memories of them driving around Edinburgh in the 1970s (mainly preparing to go to N Ireland). This is the very enjoyable B.W. white metal kit of the 2/6 variant, available directly from B.W.. It's not particularly cheap considering its tiny size, but neither is it wildly expensive in AFV terms (£12), and it really is a very nice little model. I have left the hatches on this one closed, but they are double sided (i.e they have inside surface detail) so that they can be left open and the kit does provide a rudmentary interior that could be the basis of some nice superdetailing. White metal and CA glue are not my favouite mediums, and I had some difficulty getting the wheels to stay on and all touch the ground at the same time, but I was impressed by the quality of detail on this kit. I have heard of people soldering these, but my soldering skills are not that great and although I left it as a potential last resort, the CA finally held The man-portable Vickers Vigilant anti tank missiles were NATO's equivalent of the AT-6 Sagger ATGW, used by the British Army & USMC. By all accounts they were a much better missile too, although none were ever used in combat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_Vigilant.. I feel another one of these coming on soon! FredT I'm an aircraft modeller, honest, but see all my AFVs on the Dark Side pages of my website.
fatfingers Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 That's a sweet little build..... lovelly job! Regards, Steve
west1871 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Great looking model, never tried BW models but might give them a try. Cheers Rich.
vtecjack Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 That is nice I have built one of those myself ,they are a cracking little model I used Araldite rapid on mine when glueing the wheels on ,it seems stronger than CA glue
AndyC Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Goodness me that must be mind-bogglingly tiny! Not sure shelf space would be a problem building in that scale! Nice model though Andy
ferny Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Very nice! Im a big fan of BWs stuff. Soldering is nothing to scared of!
