Almost finished with my sherman firefly Vc.weathering is complete so are the tracks which took a total of 8 hours to build them up.i add all the track parts up and it totals to over 500 parts,thats the links and end connectors :-) and am glad that i have finished them as my back is aching due to sitting at the table and my eyes are sore .
ill start adding the tools and such as soon as i get them painted.
comments welcome
cheers

I see you found a way to cover the ejection port. Nice work

Gday Karl
Coupla Q's...
The grouser box vents on the rear deck; are they shown that way in the instructions? I know they are interchangeable in real life, and sometimes screwed on backwards, but they are reversed to the way you have shown when on US Shermans... (Know a little more about them than the C'wealth and L/L versions)
Also under "Carole' on the left side; is that a fingerprint?
LOVE the dust though! TO me it blends perfect into the rest of the tank...
Did you do much of a wash, or mostly drybrush/dusting?
Cheers
Brad

its not a finger print its a paint blemish.it shows up on a b/w picture of the real tank.

Awesome Sherman! I like the subtle differences on the green tones! Did you use pigments? Congratulations, on a job well done!
Cheers and happy modelling!
