Dear Sirs,
I planning to build a Firefly I C. Now I know that the Dragon Organe Box kit is the old one with wrong part. My question is: Can I use the actueal Dragon Sherman PTO composit kit and adding the Tankworkshop turret to get a right Firefly IC ?

many thanks for help

Hi Wolfgang, I believe you could use the PTO composite M4 Sherman for a firefly IC composite. You would need a firefly turret conversion with/without out pistol port and if it was me I would purchase the armour brigade models Firefly Mid conversion turret SKU# ABM 023A This turret does not have the pistol port/shell ejector port . It says its for the Tasca kit but you may b e able to modify it for the DML kit. Best to talk to Sid Arnold at ABM. Tank workshop makes a firefly turret as well but as far I can tell only with the pistol port while ABM makes both.

Sid's email address is: [email protected]

Hopefully others more informed than me will offer their advise as well.

Good luck.
David.
