I think they used the Ferret, if I remember rightly it was retired soon after.
Looking good so far

That Viking thingy looks a lot like a Haggelund Snowcat to me. Any info on it?

[Jonno]

I like the Fox model, looks very nice  
hmmmm the Viking, although I never knew that was its name, the model, is it missing the front (bonnet bit)?, or its unfinished?

They have one of them at Duxford Imperial War Museum just down the road from me, if im not mistaken.

Just 1 month till the military vehicle show there, should be going with my Digi 8

unfinished, the viking is a adaption of the bv snowmobile thingy with a front bonnet........

ive nearly built the saracen CVR(W)
and then ill start the CVR(T) group inc. Spartan, sultan, samaritan, striker, stormer(if i can find blue prints) Scorpian and the scimitar.......the viking, i couldnt find any good pictures (only 2 pictures on the net, which i could find ! And yes it is an Haggelund Snowcat

I've been meaning to go to Duxford for ages, it's the trip round the M25 and up the M11 that puts me off, what's the traffic like round there on the weekends?

Swift, I may have some pics of the Viking in a magazine somewhere, I'll have a look for you.
http://www.haggve.se/ - Manufacturers site may be of some use  :-\ apperently they're now owned by Alvis

errrrrrr live not far from the M25 (off topic) where do you live DeLiltMon?
About Alvis etc, i think it will be hard to make a trailer script- and track animationss on both the trailer and front cab what you think??

I'm living in Bristol at the moment, so it'll be a fair trek but one of my mates wants to go and his Mrs's parents live in Wokingham so she reckons we could crash there.
As fo the trailer I reckon it could be done, have a look at Vibes' Krupp Protze with a towable Pak 36, when the Pak is towed the wheels turn on that.

no no no no... iwasnt talking so much about the trailer script (ive been doing alot of research on that becasue of the scammell commander) i was more worried about the track and wheel prob.. What day is it (duxford)the , because i live not too far from Heathrow / Windsor, so its not too bad for me!! (BUT I CANT DRIVE YET :'(

[DeLiltMon]

Do you mean the tracks and wheels on the rear "towed" half?
If so then I'm not sure, but I know that the wheels turn on the Pak when it's towed, presumably you just make the rear half as a seperate vehicle and the tracks and wheels will turn automatically when it moves, you could aways try pushing a tank or apc about in game to see if they move  :-\

[swift88]

dunno, but ill like to see the viking cruise off a landing craft, pushing through the water to assult an enemy position

[DeLiltMon]

Might be worth asking Vibes, either that or just "suck it and see"
