Ferret in Germany

[Ratch]

A vignette of the 1/35 Airfix Ferret Mk.2 with a few figures, West Germany, August 1961.

That's a great little scene

Very nice Ratch, and only 6 months old in Aug 61!

Thanks gents, another cracking kit

Are they argueing over the milk price?

[JohnRatzenberger]

It is a nice scene, Ratch !

[X12A]

Are they argueing over the milk price?

Probably goes something like this Crash:

Farmer 'Here's a bottle of Schnapps and all the beer you can drink if you drive that Ferret through my crops and scare my cows, that way I'll get loads of compensation'

Officer 'Ok lads, no DS about - get cracking'

Not speaking from experience or anything like that - honest!

[Crashpilot]

You could be right about that! - German Farmers can be quite inventive, when it comes to getting compensation for damages....

These 1/35th Airfix Ferrets have become like buses, turning up in pairs! Nicely done, Ratch and that is a great looking vignette.

Spent quite a bit of time haggling over Maneuver Damage. Even purchased a couple little cameras; every time we sent out a contact or recovery team, a camera went with them. What the German farmers didn't like was that I could speak a version of the language.

A nice scene well done but as X12 said not really representative. "Just go through that gate, yes that one, don't worry about the crops or the cattle, that's right, that gate there....."

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
