Hi thanks do you know if it needs any upgrades thinking of making it a firefly with the 17pd I know its been done alot but it was the best version during the war plus its a British tank  then will need the new one from heng long which ever one it is Cromwell/comet both would be nice.cant wait to get my hands on it.

HEY pete Great news buddy that is one bargain

the only improvements (running wise) are the wheel bearings and idler assembly got the wheel bearings for mine at stella models

Link http://www.stellamodels.net/catalog/pro ... ts_id=1308

cheapest place for them and arrived in about 4 days

the idler assembly is a bit expensive but a man of your talents could knock one up in about 5 mins

Hi i would also get a set of metal tracks ,the HL tracks for the M26 are good just take 4 of the links out you can get them cheep on ebay I just payed £29 for a set .

Matt

PS Best of luck when " she who must be obeyed finds " out. Mine went BALISTIC when I bought a Stug from Military Might even thought I got it at a great price. Still in the dog house over. But I LIKE the settee 

She who must be obayed just said thats it ni more tanks till after xmas to which I said I will need to get some little bits for them her responce they better be little.OK the bearings there little and the radios are little battle units are little the hvss conversion there little the gun barrel is little and will need some little tins of paint have Imissed any little items .Also some little items to get for my stug&panzer 4 dbu/dbc may have to hold off on any other major mods till the Sherman is done.
