Bit Of A Ferret
 

Hi all - whilst hunting around for a Lee turret for a mate, I came across this. The middle section of a Ferret Scout Car. This came about through constant advertising on our local radio station's Radio Classified program. I just keep asking for a tank turret much to the announcer's amusement. Now, next Saturday I can say Na Na Na Na Ya. However I , or rather my mate, still needs a Lee turret. Anybody interested in this Ferret bit, PM me and I'll forward the owner's details. It is located near to me so I could pick it up and store it.

Looks a bit like a 1/2 ferret hull I know of locally (owner has asked that I do not divulge where).

Are you sure that the rest of the ferret is not buried under it?

Do you mean me or bob? In the case of the one I saw, it's a 1/2 because of the parts of the hull that have been cut off!!

Hi I believe Doug of Doug's heavy Metal Gallery is after a Ferret Section such as this.

For my own part I looking for any Carrier or Tank Hulls to buy (except Stuarts)
I'm located near Bathurst NSW.
cheers!

Ferret Part
 

Sold to an instantaneous response. That's the only way to get the goodies.

Treadhead - there are plenty of Carriers around in various conditions. Depends what you want and what you want to spend.

I'm after a Carrier such as the one in the image (but with tracks), A Carrier modified with the Differential mounted on the front would be better.

It's not for a Carrier restoration back to an original state, this is for quite a different project & I'm loath to cut a complete or near complete Carrier, There are already too few vehicles of historic significance.

As for price, I'm open.
cheers

For the record, the project I have in mind for a Carrier Chassis, is NOT for a Panzer I, Panzer II or a Vickers, Nor for a US, French, Italian, Russian or Japanese vehicle.
cheers.

New Project
 

Hi Colin
Firstly welcome to the forum,you will find all the information that you may need here, everyone is only to pleased to help out, I have sent a P M to you so check that out,
Regards, Ron

Hi Col and welcome to the forum. You must be a nice bloke with a name like that. What type of project are you going to do, or is still top secret yet.
If you want one with the diff at the front, might I have a guess and say a scale leapard or centurion. What about a 1/3 scale LVT. That would be interesting for corowa next year. What do you think Ron, he'd have plenty of time to squeeze one of them in before march 09. I don't mind a bit of a challenge myself, and don't forget Col, just yell for help.
regards

Thanks for the welcome guys

I guess I'm ok.
Trying to aspire to be the person my cats think I am. :yappy:

Not top secret, I'd just rather leave it until the project was well advanced, no point in naming it for the project to become stillborn, It's definitely WWII though.

I'm also in the middle of restoring a 1938 Zundapp DB 250 motorcycle, 1 of only 2 known, the other is in South America.

There were only 2500 DB 250's made before civilian production was abandoned to the 500, 600 & 800's for military production.

Hi Colin Jones,
Yeah I recon the three of us could knock it up over a long weekend no problem,might even have time to make a trailer for it too
Regards, Ron

Doug got back to me on what Ferret bit he was after, so if anyone knows of any of these bits......

I am also looking for the MK1 plates, and rubber. I have a MK2/3 and would like to make it a little more passenger friendly.
