Nice collection Thieb

....you might consider putting all the M4 hulled tanks in the SHERMAN THREAD... that 38t is great ..still have to do mine...did you use the stock sprockets or find aftermarket ones... I know they sell metal tracks...didn't want to go that route because of the lack of metal sprockets
Enjoy the board

Very nice examples theibuman, love the detail on the mk1 too. Never saw a tank though with the RAF roundel on though, is this accurate?

Thanks, still have some other to show but currently are under revamping (sometimes i feel that a tank could be better)
@ Merlin : Yes, the roundel was placed (i suppose for air recognizing purpose) during North Africa campaign and Sicily invasion.
@ Alpha : The 38T runs just fine (despite to my doubt about) with Asiatam Hetzer metal tracks and the plastic sprocket, me too waiting for the metal sprocket but since now nothing.
For this mod i used the 1/24 VSTank TIGER I gearbox (fist perfectly) but i had to made an internal hull (the lower and sides) from 1mm. metal sheet cause the plastic one is too weak.
I'm planning to buy another kit for Hetzer conversion.
Cheers

Great looking collection. I am also doing an M18 Hellcat and yours looks great. Metal sprockets and idlers for the Asiatam metal track are available. See for sale section for details.

Thanks for sharing Theib ...I agree the plastic on the Panda kit is pretty thin...a lot of things to work out on that kit to make it rc...you did a really nice job
Do you have any other shots of your Firefly?
