I got the rotorshield from edoubleaz on here;

The Olive Drab was a custom mix of about 7 or 8 different colours. I use Vallejo Model Air acrylic paints and their Olive Drab is a good base for mixing the correct colour.
Nick's hull and other parts are excellent, they are fantastic to work with.

I'm working on a new build which will be an M4A1 75mm with small hatches & applique armour, then hopefully followed by an M4A3 76mm large hatch, with wet stowage, both VVSS suspension.

Cheers,
Rik

Ric:
Your work is spot on. I am finding this is much more difficult being it's a cottage industry when you can find detail parts. Being I have worked primarily in 1/35th and 120MM figures, where there are a large following and details are redily available. They are also over-priced when you do find them. Anyway, do you have the measurements for the bogie spacing? I started the turret first and I will be posting my progress as I work through the Firefly conversion/build.
