Re: Tamiya sherman firefly
I like it a lot, and think that your mods are very convincing. 
That said, the sand bags on the front suggest to me that the crew and the Para been involved in some sort of bank robbery, or bullion heist... 
Are the bags based on a pic you've used as a source? I know they stuck all sorts of stuff on the front of Shermans including concrete...but loot bags? Small matter....overall, I'd be happy to own it. 
Good job.

Re: Tamiya sherman firefly
They could have picked a faster getaway vehicle, it is not based on any pictures really, the sherman is my favourite tank, I like the way that everything was thrown onto them and with all the stowage hanging off of them, I think that it gives it a sense of character and that lived in feeling. I have 3 shermans and they all carry a lot of stowage including sandbags on the front, I'm currently working on putting a 75mm onto another tamiya sherman and that's going to have lots of things thrown onto it to , pics to follow in the near future Cheers, Lee.
