Two days ago I finished Dragon's Firefly Vc (1/35). It will be placed on dio for Commonwealth in Normandy Campaign. Let me know you think about it. Here is the link to thread with pics:

For some reason, the link took me to a Sony phone site in Polish...

Pics are a bit dark but it looks like a nice build. One thing you might've wanted to do was add a bit of putty around the pistol port, as there should not be a seam where it fairs in with the rest of the turret (I know it comes as a separate part on this kit, along with most others).
Can I say a BIG THANK YOU for actually using commonwealth style backpacks on the kit!!!! Kudos to you. I see SO many Fireflies, Cromwells, etc., with M1936 US Musette bags on them, including on kits in galleries on other top notch sites. It's frustrating, b/c the backpacks you've used are not hard to find. Good job.

Thanks for your comments.
I'll work on pistol port on next Shermans (3 more from Dragon
)
I was thinking what put on this Firefly to more bring him to life and finally I found those backpack in Allied Acsessory Italeri kit . The U.S. fuel can was added because according to ref. pics such cans were used by Polish units in WE.
I havent decided how the dio would look like, but I was thinking of using Tamiya's British tank crew. Maybe the guy who originaly is taking a bottle from peasant will be puting a stick into a fire
