This is my 1/72 Dragon Firefly finished. You can find the build here. My only addition has been the 30.cal from Milicast. The decals are from Bison and it represents a tank from the 2nd NZ Division. Finished in White Ensign enamels and weathered with Promodeller washes, oil paints and MIG Pigments.

Hi Ross,
These smaller kits really come out well.
Excellent stuff, looks the business and an interesting finish too.

Ross, extremely nicely done Firefly. Your build really shows what can be achieved in small scale. Your weathering adds to the overall effect without being excessive. Thanks for sharing.

A very nice build!
Did you make the tarp rolls yourself or use aftermarket?

Ross,
Totally nice job! No question about it, this is one super looking Sherman. Nice touch on that realistic to scale stone wall and ground work. Like the mud build-up on the running gear. very good job on the periscope guards too.

Very nice model and in my favorite scale. The purchase of this model I have in the plans for the moment stick with Sherman Ic Firefly 1 Polish Armored Division of General Maczek battles from the period of Falaise - BlackJack Hill.

Ross very nice build. I especially like the environment you've created very life like.
It could pass for a 1/35.
