Thanks! It was a mildly interesting project. The kit itself isn't terrible, but it did tax my motivation budget.

Land / Re: In the footsteps of the Master - Ferret MkV

You are most kind BT.  Great to see how the resin 3D prints came out - very crisp and sharper than my own filament printer. 

I too noted the strange Union flag decals with the Airfix kit (they were clearly having an off day) and substituted my own. 

So that’s both northern and southern hemispheres covered - long live the Ferret Mk V!!!

Another unusual subject from the house of Frank, and, as usual, beautifully executed.

They've gotten a bit smarter and now have a robo dog and a drone, so they can conquer their mortal enemy - the stairs.

Tracks courtesy of a Panther or Tiger?

Looks really good now with the hi-vis red paint.

Another fine what-if from the F3K Consulting and Engineering LLC. 

The blue hose on top of the vehicle has me thinking the vehicle is a Dalek and it is broadcasting "Exterminate, Exterminate, Exterminate" as it travels down the road.

I was thinking that the Dart would not be powerful enought to be a good replacement at 1600-1800 shp in versions available in the right time frame (the Bristol Hercules in the Freighter Mk.31 gave 2000 hp each).  Of course the lighter weight would help some.
Instead, I was thinking Napier Eland.  At 3500 shp, it would be a major power upgrade.  And it was used in the CC-109 Cosmopolitan at about the right time frame...

I should take a pic and post it and the whole story on the internet. It worked for the electric supplier when their transformer started leaking onto my trash cans. They fixed that quick.
