Canadian hybrid firefly with IBU3
Its been far too long since I posted in here's with a tank. So I'm happy to present my hybrid firefly, after what seems like an age in gestation. I bought her off Flamme ages ago, she didn't have any electrics, elevation rotation or recoil. She's been transplanted onto a mato full metal chassis, I've added a dklm recoil unit, tamiya battle system, coaxial machine gun. Opened up the hatches, added detail etc. She's rocking an amazing IBU3 with slightly altered tamiya Sherman speaker.

Beautiful work as usual, Tom. Great build all the way around, but especially taken with the paint shading and the overall look. Nice job!

Re: Canadian hybrid firefly with IBU3
Enviable work as always Tom. The attention to detail, the unique accessories, the paintwork and weathering are all as good as it gets. I hope this one's a keeper!
