Topdog Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I have been hunting the net with no success, does anyone do a scale model of the Ferret. I know about Accurate armour but that is nearly £60 for a plastic kit and I really wanted a metal one. Failing that, I am looking to do my own in brass or ali if I can get some plans with the dimensions on. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 There are no known METAL kits of a Ferret. The Accurate Armour one is a Resin hull, but all the periphials are metal. IE: wheels, susspension, etc. All other known kits are plastic. Mike. :coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topdog Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Thanks Mike, I would have thought the guy selling them would have mentioned that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrettkitt Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Another one slightly larger scale at 1/48 and an increase in price but its a mix of resin and white metal. I haven't seen an Accurate Armour kit for a while so I can't remember what scale it is. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Daimler-Ferret-APC-Reconnaissance-armoured-Hart-Smith_W0QQitemZ140284543627QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_146?hash=item20a99c428b#ht_2335wt_939 Not impressed with some of the detail the drivers front hatch looks a bit ahem untidy and basic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works out that in kit scales, the LARGER the number. The SMALLER the model! Dont ask me why they do it like that!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
