Whilst waiting for funds to come so I can purchase a Firefly Conversion Kit i thought I'd build one of my 1/72 Sherman's.

That's rather cool :thumbup:

May I ask what make of kit it is?

Good morning!
Very pleased to see that someone else likes to build research models to sort out details and paint schemes before going to work on the 1/16 scale jobbies. 1/35 scale is really nice but they start to take up room after a while so 1/72 is a good alternative! Excellent job on the Firefly.

Thanks Son of a gunner! It's a Plastic Soldier Company Kit, quite good kits!

Thanks Painless, yeah needed something to keep me occupied while I wait.

Loving those KV-1s! Especially the captured one. Is that the 1/16?

Here's another shot of it. Also anothe Firefly and 75mm Sherman. Not your usual Sherman column!

Good morning,
That quad of KV-2 s goes up to 1/24 in scale with the largest being the VS tanks version in IR. The real Beauty is the 'Palace' in 1/16 ( sorry but I never pass up a chance to show it off ;o)
regards,

Thanks

Well, near the end of the war, they tried to make all four tank units contain two fireflies and two non fireflies. Therefore, your three tanks work especially if they already lost one tank earlier on :thumbup:

I lole to build in small scale too to keep my skills and gives me a canvas to see the full sized model before I build it.
