Very interesting. You've certainly found material on the Firefly that I've not seen before, and it's always refreshing to see familiar objects from unfamiliar angles (something I attempt when in amateur photographer mode).
At the same time, I have to commend Dean on his almost solo entrepreneurial effort to make a British Tank kit (in 1/16) for enthusiasts, and for those frustrated by the lack of availability of British Armour in the commercial market. Providing a kit is a tremendous challenge, given the range of skills to accommodate: from Tank knuckle- dragger...me! to the scratch building experts, and rivet counters who populate the Forum.
Anyway, looking forward to more surprises and progress when other commitments permit. :wave:

You cant beat a Firefly imo and I hope to get hold of one of the kits, if they are still around later in the year. I have worked with resin many times but with 1/50th bus and coach kits, so I know how floppy resin can get in the building stages. I'm sure the integral strength is there when its built. As a Sherman nut, a number of different Firefly's are a must and I'm building a 1C hybrid(again) at the moment. After its finished, I will be looking for one of the kits. But am I too late to find one? :think: Its a good post and it has some decent links there too :thumbup: I cant wait to see it when its finished 8)
