This part B36 (as I remember) of Dragon's Firefly kit
As you can see on the pic there are two mountings for MG on this part (commanders hatch ring) but on all pics I've found there was only one mounting (at least it looked like that).
It looks that this is Dragon's mistake and one of the mountings should be removed completely. Am I right?

Hi Marcin,
Yes, that's correct to the best of my knowledge you need to remove one of the MG mount rings. I put a gun sight in its place, or you could probably just fill it in.
Some of the Sherman experts could tell you for sure.
Cheers
Al

I wondered about that as well. Is it just me, or were some of your parts marked wrong in the directions? I had alot of parts that they said were supposed to be "B' parts, that in all actuality, were marked as "V" parts. Must have been "V for Very Confusing".

Thanks Alan, so I will remove one mount.
Yes Steve, it is very confusing but most annoying thing is that instruction doesn't mention about part that should be glued to hull in place where boogies are attached to hull. I was trying to figure out for few days why boogies don't fit properly before I found proper parts on sprue
