Hi all,
As you have probaly gathered I really want to build a pice of NZ armour. My newest Idea is to use the DML firefly 6182 kit.
Soooooo are there any modifications that you know of theat need to be done?
Also does the kit include a tank crewman if so what type of uniform is he wearing?

TIA

Well Andy a firefly is a firefly ,so you can build this kit pretty well out of the box and it will be quite accurate...There might be some little additions that the troops might have made but you'll have to find some pictures for that... As for figures ..I'm not sure of the numbers but if this is the latest version of the firefly by Dragon there are two figures with the kit an infantry man and a tanker in a pixie suit... If it isn't the last issue well there are no figures in the box.

Thanks for the Rick,
Yep it is the last issue of the firefly. So there would be no problems with the tannk crewman as a kiwi?

I guess he'd be fine but that pixie suit was only used in the winter of 44 to 45 so too late for the Normandy campaign..
