SPA Modeler

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.



As my uncle served in Cyprus with the Royal Green Jackets, I thought I'd do one in the Cyprus scheme (no that's not him)...



...and and add a bit of stowage to it, like these ones on patrol in Aden.



Cheers!

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.

Very cool!

Nice! Are you going to name it? frank Burns comes to mind…

A 5 wheeled vehicle? Really? ... good start

That is a cool looking vehicle Stuart! Makes me want to build one!

That I'd like to see Chris!

Well I have a drawer full of their paint sets so... They've been my go to paints for years Bruce - great paints for brush painting. Their metallics suck however...
