I've seen plenty of reviews, people on missing-lynx saying they've got theirs, yet Hannants don't have it in stock yet (I pre-ordered mine from there). Just wondering if its really arrived or not....

Which firefly? What scale? Dragon makes/has made 4 different ones in 1/35 alone, and I know they do some in 1/72.

Ooops, my bad. Didn't realize your original post was in the Braille scale area, as I just saw it under the "Latest Posts" category. I don't model 1/72, so I can't be of more help. Sorry for my jumping the gun.

I picked one up at my LHS a couple of weeks ago. Jim Rae also reviewed one here a month or so ago. They actually retooled the running gear from the earlier Shermans to fix the sit of the tank.

I got mine at the Euromilitaire show (Carole 'show special' version) and Azimut Productions in Paris-France now sells the regular boxed kit since last week. But Didier Chomette is often the first to get the Dragon new kits in Europe, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm about half way finished with mine. Not too bad so far. The only nit picks that I have so far is the lack of detailing on the side of the lower hull and no detail on the backs of the roadwheels. The bottom of the lower hull is nice but there isn't any bolt detail where the bogies attach to it. But, that goes for their other 1/72 Shermans as well.

So what we're saying is, the rest of the world has the kit, except the country who actually used them
