Looking for a Firefly Conversion Kit, looked all over and I can't find anything. Just the Barrel and radio box. Any help is much appreciated! :D

Apart from Nick Aguilera in the states that sells a resin IC welded firefly kit, that needs the engine deck changed.
And the turret and hull is sized to take Tamiya turret rotation, there is not a lot else out there.

Mr dgsselkirk who's one of our vendor forum members, used to sell a resin M4A4 Firefly kit, but I believe these are now discontinued.

Hmm okay I think I'll get the Barrel and radio box. What the compatibility between Mato and Henglong turrets? I've seen an old Mato cast Sherman on eBay. Was thinking of swapping turrets with my heng long sherman to create a cast hull firefly and maybe a Jumbo Sherman?

You'll still have to convert the turret to a low bustle. You can look at my build. It walks you though building everything. It Begins M4A1 Firefly in Tamiya builds.

A friend of mine has a Nick Aguilar firefly turret for sale. I can ask him the price if you like.

Don't forget, a Nick Aguilera turret is modelled at Tamiya turret rotation size, will need modification to fit a Heng Long or Mato hull.
