Airfix 1/35 Ferret
Airfix 1/35 Ferret
After building four Spitfires on the trot, I could do with building something different - I'd also like to clear off the 6 or so 1/35 kit I have in WIP. So I thought I'd tackle the Airfix Ferret I built up last December. I primed it last weekend and I''ve just started slapping some Green on - NATO IRR Green from the Hataka Modern British AFV's set.

Re: Airfix 1/35 Ferret
Very nice project! I so want to get both the Mk.1 and Mk.2 for my collection.

I hope you do Stik, It'd be great to see you build one. I'll almost certainly get another as I have some nice interior and exterior detail sets from scorpion models that I alas got to late for this build.

Re: Airfix 1/35 Ferret
Nice! Are you going to name it? frank Burns comes to mind…
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
... good start-

I've not used Hataka branded paints before, Stuart! What are your impressions? That looks like a wonderful project!
Make more models!
Re: Airfix 1/35 Ferret
That is a cool looking vehicle Stuart! Makes me want to build one!

They've been my go to paints for years Bruce - great paints for brush painting. Their metallics suck however...Stuart Templeton 'I may not be good but I'm slow...'
