[FREE] 1/35 Ferret Armoured Car Papermodel
A total of 4,409 Ferrets, including 16 sub-models under various Mark numbers, were manufactured between 1952 and 1962, when production ceased. It is possible to upgrade the engine using the more powerful FB60 version from the Austin Princess 4-Litre-R; this upgrade providing a 55 bhp (41 kW) gain over the standard B60 engine. According to the US Military, 20 national armies were operating the Ferret in 1996.
This model was designed in June but i just bothered to tesbuild it yesterday in an attempt to clear my work backlog (there's three actually, A-26 Invader designed and printed since April or May, and maybe Ki-43 Hayabusa and DB Jager but it was recent design so its priority not that high on my to-do list).
