Well and truely nice mate.
In my very humble opinion, if you were to allow any change, I would suggest removing the helmet/gas mask combo ...... For me it's just not, um, British enough !!
A very well done example of a hell of a tank

Thanks for the feedback Herman it is very much appreciated

I originally made the gas mask for my pershing so I think I'll put it back at home on there then,
Cheers, Lee.

Thanks for taking the time to look in Del and magman, your comments really give the old mojo a boost
I have a question though guy's, on my 2nd picture of the front view of the tank you can see that mine doesn't have the bolted transmission housing , I could add these if need be but I was wondering if all firefly's had these before I go adding them if there's no need , the pic below is what I'm trying to explain, to add or not that is the question
Cheers, Lee

Thanks magman

so I can get away with it as is then, I know it may not be 100 % accurate but I'd still like it to look a passable example,
Cheers, Lee.

All a4's had the 3-piece tranny but the other versions used either type..

Thanks Frank, is there anything to your expert eye that you see needs adding or removing ( within reason ?

) the figures I had from you look right at home on there, I'm particularly happy with the driver

,
Lee.

Thank you Frank I appreciate that, I'm sure I'll be picking your brains again when I get the bits from Dave for my 75mm, again I would just like to make that one a good representation too,
Cheers, Lee.
