BlrwestSiR Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 I painted the tracks using a mix of Metallic Brown and Dark Iron. I'm not completely sold on the colour but it at grow on me after I weather them a bit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Just a quick update. I've somehow misplaced the Firefly box so I can't get any more done until I find it. As for the LCM, I'm waiting on a figure set to arrive at my LHS so that's stalled too. It's stored to arrive next week so hopefully I'll be back at it shortly. In the meantime, I'll keep looking for the Firefly box. Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks gents! I figure since the Sherman is going on a landing craft, it wouldn't be too dirty. I have given it a light dusting though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 I'm still working on the other Firefly. I've swapped in Tasca drive sprockets and idlers with bogies and tracks from AFV Club. Next to big brother 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Great looking couple, can't wait to see the figure for the shrinked one. When I see the mix of kits on your bench, I wonder how you manage not to mix up the parts , a Sherman with wings, …. Some time ago I did a not so serious review about another little fellow, The deformed Meng KV-2 and had a lot of fun building it and writing the review. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/5406-and-now-to-something-completely-different-meng-kv-2/ Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks Danny! The Firefly is definitely my favourite version of the Sherman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 A small update on this project.i finally got it back on the bench and the Firefly at least is almost done now. I added a bit of stowage to the front hull and the driver figure. I need to add the periscope covers and then it'll be completed. Here it is with the finished cute Firefly.
