Never driven a Fox but had some fun in a Ferret in Cyprus.

Never driven a Fox but had some fun in a Ferret in Cyprus.

In my younger days as a student (Yes I was educated, well sort of) I joined the TA. Our main vehicle was the Fox. I was the gunner, I never got to drive.

Sorry just arrived, extremely late Ian.
Love the paint work, looks very neat .

Made a start on re-painting the figures and dirtying the Scimitar up.

Ian

Apologies at being very late to the show but it's hard to keep up with everything.

Loving what you've done so far.

Well done.

Started the weathering on this.

And I’ve got these these to add some stowage.

[Guest]

The model is looking good, but most of that stowage would be inappropriate for a British vehicle. The bed rolls, tarps and things will be OK, but I wouldn’t advise using the helmets, rucksacks, other bags and the bigger ammo cans as they’re all very American and/or WWII. (Not to mention the jerrycans from that last set are about 40 years behind the state-of-the-art, as you will see if you compare them to those in the Allied Vehicle Accessories set that itself is about 20 years behind SOTA )

[papa 695]

You’re right Jakko, not all of it is for this build. I’m just using a few things just to add effect.

[papa 695]

Got some more done to this one, I know it’s late but I just can’t seem to get any modelling done lately. Still got to add more stowage and stuff, but I’m getting there.

[Guest]

Very nice build indeed Ian! Love your weathering too! I completed this Kit as my very recent comeback Kit after a lengthy break from modelling. I did it in UN Colours but OOB. Really enjoyed it.
