Built for reconnaissance purposes, the Ferret scout car was produced between 1952 and 1971 and widely utilised by the British Army. A typical British vehicle, the Ferret was the direct successor of the Daimler Dingo famous WW2 reconnaissance car. The MK 1 version was turretless, open topped and only armed with a light 7.62mm machine gun (or Bren machine gun). The MK 2 version was equipped with a one-man turret mounting a .30" machine gun. Some 4,409 Ferrets were produced.

The resin kit is from Cromwell Models. They are very nicely moulded kits with a good range of interesting subjects but are increasingly difficult to find. (made 2018)
