Sherman Firefly kit wanted

Post by SgtMalarky »

Hi
Can anyone help me please?
A mate of mine has asked me to build a Sherman Firefly in memory of his Dad. As this will be a static piece, does anyone know where I might located a 1/16 kit?
I can find 105mm howitzer, am I thinking I will probably have to go down this road and then locate an Firefly barrel?

And Forgebear is also a great vendor and avid tanker himself. If you need a Firefly, Frank is right that that's the place to shop.

Pete, Be aware that you need a Heng Long Sherman base to build the conversion kit. Might as well keep it RC.
