This is the cut-open Ferret at IWM Duxford that I photographed when I was there over twenty years ago.

Great pics Jakko food for thought for the next one

I've always liked the Ferret, so I'll be watching.

One vehicle I have had a ride in, any room Mick, sure I can smuggle some biscuits in!!

I'll pull up a chair Mick, I have one in the stash.

If you’re building a Mk. 2, there’s not usually a need to add any of this, I’d say. Should you take off the turret and make a Mk. 1, it will all be in plain view, though.

Making more progress, on with the suspension. 10 parts per unit.
Quite a weighty little thing too, nice and solid.

End of play for today. Really enjoying this build, wheels are just bluetacked on for now.

As the majority of this will not be seen thought I’d record it for posterity.

Skipped ahead a bit and built the turret as there are lots of parts to paint before fitting.

Mick,
I'm in mate, you can't beat a 4 ton sports car. Looking very good so far mate.

Build section now completed, a few parts including the wheels just placed on. I recommend chucking one in your stash as it’s a great little kit. Hoping to get it into undercoat in the next few days.
