Airfix Ferrret in the works! 17th/21st Lancers in Cyprus

My wife ordered me a Airfix Ferret, and I am building it as a 17/21st Lancers vehicle in Cyprus, 1970-1971

Can anyone make a decal for me? its the Regimental Motto of the unit and I have some better pictures of it on the Ferrets.

That will make a very attractive model with the camo scheme, show us pics when the time comes AJ.

Did you ever come by a 17/21 Lancers 1/35 decal? Back in the 80’s I had a connection with the Regiment. I scanned this from a Regimental recruiting brochure that I have. I am planning on using it on a 1/35 Chieftain. The pics that I have of one is in the solid bronze green and the badge is displayed on the tank. When I figure out how to print decals, I can make a few extra (I have all the necessary stuff to do it….i just have never done it before). My e-mail is William.Gibbs1954@gmail.com. Cheers!

I used the decals off of a 1/72nd scale Challenger 2 Iraq war set for the Regimental Motto. The completed Ferret is in the Campaign section under Hot out of the moulds.

Check out Star Decals on the Scorpon Miniature Models website:

None have the decals that I was looking for.

The model is finished.

Very nice job AJ! I have this kit as well but it will have to wait as I finish other projects.

Beautiful! It’s great to see the Regiment finally represented in miniature! It inspired me to dig the Chieftain out of my stash.

I’ve also built a Sherman III, a Sherman IC Firefly, Daimler AC Mk1, Centurion, Conqueror Mk2, Chieftain, Challenger 1 and 2 as the 17/21st Lancers
