Cheers

Pete, I've just seen your progress on your Firefly. It's looking pretty damn good mate. That is some astonishing work there.

Hi Excelent work you have done I love it . I have a basic Tamiya Sherman which has what looks like a HL Tiger I barrel on it to represent a Firefly . But Id love to rip it apart and rebuild it like yours . Again well done.

Hi Pete ,
What an excelent build , I shall be watching your posts . I to have this version of the Tamiya Sherman . I got mine of eBay to and the preyious owner has fitted what looks like a HL Tiger barrel to represent the Firefly . But Id like to take that off and do what you have done. Im currently out of work so moneys tight so I shall be fitting HL electronics to. Can I ask did you cut off the lips that run down each side of the tank upper body ? if so what did you do withe raised curve on the front guard ?

Thanks Littletankman
