M4 firefly’ish Q

Post by dane61 »

Im slowly cutting up my HL M4 , trying to convert it to something like the Firefly featured in WOT. I changed the angle of the front, and reused the hatches ( yes, they are to big, but..) cut’n glued the turret to make it low bustle, and added a homemade radiobox, and a new loaders hatch. I had to buy a commanders hatch from Dave.

I will try to recreate the cannon but need some measurements. So if anyone with a Deans kit would post a picture of the cannon with a ruler by the side, i would be happy :D

Sorry, I don't know how to post photos, but my Dean's kit measures 175mm from the front of the mantlet (where the barrel starts to taper) to the rear of the muzzle brake.

You can have my spare barrel that I removed from something and don’t need
It’s your tank it’s what you make it
