Nik Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I am planning on building a Mk1 and Mk 2 model Ferrets using Accrate Armour Kits for Mk1/1 and Mk2/3 respectively. The mk1 will represent one used as part of O Force in Jordan 1955/56 and the Mk2 will represent 02BB 69 in Cyprus 1956 as shown in a Pathe News clip.<BR><BR>What I need to know is what are the obvious visual differences between the Mk1 and 2 and the uparmoured versions? From the photos it would seem to be the drivers quarter hatches.<BR><BR>And would they likely to be still using No19 Radios at that time or had they upgraded to Larkspur?<BR><BR>According to Pat Ware's Ferret book 02BB69 appears to have been built as a Mk1 but is clearly shown with a turret. Was this usual or have I misinterpreted the book? And finally does anyone know what the name is on the turret and what colour it is likely to be? I have included this image for reference.<BRBR><IMG id=vbattach_60970 class=previewthumb alt="" src="http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/attachment.php?attachmentid=60970&stc=1" attachmentid="60970">><BR>Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nik Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Sorry about the garbled message. Had a problem with the editing. Just to clarify I am looking for what I need to do to back engineer the ferrets to Mk1 and Mk2, likely radio fit circa 1956 and clarification of the name and its colour of the Mk2.
