Small word of warning. The turret in this kit is not for the faint hearted. It has to be one of the fiddliest and smallest turrets I have ever built.
 
Intended for use with the Airfix Ferret Mk.2
The Ferret Mk.2/6 was the first anti-tank missile-armed Ferret, based on the normal turreted Mk.2/3. The armament was a pair of Vigilant wire-guided anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), as well as the original .30 calibre Browning in the turret. The missiles were mounted in launch boxes on the sides of the turret allowing them to fire through 360°. The missile was controlled by signals fed through a trailing cable. There was some preparation needed, as the cable was housed inside the endcap of the launch boxes. These had to be removed and clipped to the sids of the mounts and plugged in, before the missiles could be fired. The missiles could be launched and guided from inside the Ferret, under armour, or remotely by means of an infantry-type sight/controller with a separation cable. Two reloads were stored in a box on the left side, replacing the spare wheel. First developed in 1956, the Vickers Vigilant was a private venture costing £1.3 million. Production started in 1963, 125 vehicles being supplied.
Vigilant had a maximum range of 1,375 kms which was reached in about 12.5 seconds, achieving an average speed of 110 m/s. Due to the launch angle of 20°, it is possible that the missile had a minimum range of just less than 200 metres.
The Mk.2/6 proved to be a temporary solution. Although it provided an air-portable anti-tank capability, once the far-more capable Ferret Mk.5 was delivered (armed with Swingfire) (SMM3564F), the remaining Mk.2/6s had their missile systems removed and were re-designated Mk.2/7. These two marks were the only Ferrets equipped with a complete ball-race around their turrer rings, hence the traverse gear wheel instead of a handle the commander had to push or pull in previous Ferrets, to rotate the turret.
