The Dragon 1c Firefly you show (Welded Hull) is one of DML's best Fireflies by Far and the ONLY 1c Welded available (Until Asuka learn they can cross kit their new M4). A review is here: http://www.missing-lynx.com/reviews/britain/dml6568reviewab_1.html

One point with this kit is the British All round Vision cupola which is only seen on 1c Fireflies of the Polish and they are post war photos. It is not believed to have been fitted during the war. Given the number of users of the 1c Welded Firefly it is sad that DML didn't bother to give you many marking options despite giving a very colourful Polish 1c Welded scheme in thei original Firefly VC Kit!
This is one of DML's best Sherman kits and I recommend it even against Tasca/Asuka
