Looks like it's coming along nicely ....One thing I would do is use some putty to help the pistol port blend into the side of the turret this was all part of the casting ... Another thing to be careful about is they forgot to mention the back part of the bogies in the instructions but they are on the sprues and should be added to the hull before the bogies. Another thing you should do is the strip that holds the sand shield has little rivets on them ..In reality these should be holes ..You sould take a pin vise and drill them out. There are a few more things you can do if you want to make this kit more accurate ,like adding raised weld beads between the panels and also there is supposed to be an undercut underneath both the drivers and co drivers hatch extensions. There seems to be something wrong with the way the plug is placed on the hull machine gun ..it might just be the angle of the picture. but these are little things ... Keep up the good work.

it looks great. its really shapeing up.
looks like a firefly now .
i got my barrel for the fire fly in the mail yesterday,
what a pice of art work....
and another thing thats good about this kit is that the machine gun is,
allready molded in the front where the 17 ponder goes,
