RecyMech Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Af,noon chaps. For those who are getting a taste for the 1/24th cold war era stuff I'm doing, I just pasted up a picture of the KFS 1/24th Ferret kit parts at http://www.kitformservices.com in the Military Range section. Will shortly be attacking the test builds & instructions. Cheers. Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrettkitt Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Quick question why does it have a three spoke steering wheel? Most Ferrets have a four spoke steering wheel. Sorry if it sounds like I'm being pedantic but I know modellers like accuracy to point of counting rivets. Cracking looking kit I might buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 I had that nasty sinking feeling when I read that about the 4 spoke wheel....hurridly went away & check my pics again. And now all I can say is oh f**%^"$£ hell......how did I bloody well miss that ?:banghead: Thanks for spotting that...(no really I mean it) I shall away this minute & get it sorted, new steering wheel before it gets released.

ferrettkitt Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (ps is this why they call you 'ferretkit' ? I just like Ferrets, but having had the fun of building one up and starting to build two others up you notice things. Probably not in a good way.... If you want a page on my site for you're Ferrets give me a shout I would be glad to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toolman Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hello Howard Am I right i saying that you know a friend of mine, Nick S, We both work at JLR in Coventry. I've been saying he should join the forum :-) Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi Matt, Yep, know Nick well (king of Dudley) great bloke, helped me a stack with pictures of the Bedford & with doing kit reviews for MiS. Nick mentioned you & your Ferret to me already....how is the sciatica ? (Ooooh:cry:) Nick should deffo join, very rarely do I ask a question on here & not get a proper informed & helpful answer. Friendly people with a wealth of info to draw on. Example, Clive Elliott help me out massively with the Pig project & loads of blokes offered internal Saladin pics. Great bunch. Best regs.....H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolman Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Ahhh, I thought so. Yes, Nick is a sound chap, he sits a few desks away from me at Jag. Yes, the sciatica has been a nightmare. I had another epidural steriod injection yesterday so fingers crosseds this time. As I said to Nick, if you need any Ferret pics in detail, just let me know :-) I'll try again to convince him to register next week when I am back to work.

RecyMech Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Sorry about the temporary cock up with the pictures. They were there for a few days & then I went a'fiddling with the site & accidentally renamed a file (the wrong file)....which in turn knocked out the links.:blush::blush: That's what what happens when a Recy Mech is let loose on something he does not fully understand (applies to most things where hammers are not involved). Found the fault though today & they are back up. Please take a shuftie:D Best regs........H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Some of the most realistic model pics I have seen, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The photos of military and civi vehicles in the GALLERY section are pretty mind blowing too - some very accomplished customers. I do hope nobody will be offended if I say it would be great if you could put the Champ on hold and get the Matador out asap... :goodidea: :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 FTM, N.O.S, Thanks for looking in & having a browse through the Gallery too:) Re holding the Champ back in favour of the Matador....I think the only people who might be offended are the ones who've alredy placed reservations for the Champ & are very keen to see it released. The masters for that were completed & despatched for casting a while back anyway, whereas the Mat is still being mastered up. Odd story really, the Champ was slipped in inbetween the bigger vehicles & intended as a 'cheap & cheerful' kit....or so was originally thought. Small vehicle by comparison..."going to be easy & cheap to make, is'nt it" ? By the time it was ready for casting that was far from the truth. It's turned into a right complex little bugger. (Not unlike the real thing I would suggest :embarrassed:) Cheers.......H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Can't argue with that - I'd better get a reservation in for the Matador!! I could imagine the moulding for the Champ body was not the easiest job in the world.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff66 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 tire pressure should be marked 36 psi at rear not 30 psi ,now thats pedantic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi Griff, Well spotted.....this is what you get for lifting data from pictures of restored Ferrets rather than the User Handbook. That's my excuse & I'm sticking to it......or in the words of one Mr H Simpson "DOH" H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
