A wee bit 'photo heavy' so apologies in advance if you've got 'bandwidth issues'. As ever thanks everyone for looking-in, encouraging and/or commenting throughout this project.

A lot of 'firsts' on this one - first ever Sherman Firefly build, first Tasca kit (and, Randy, they really are as good as the reviews say, easy to build and strong as if they'd been molded out of that old ABS plastic that L&S used to make their 1:1 scle firearms out of !! ), first time I've used brass-etch on an AFV build, first NZ armour build.

Another AFV project already started, you'll see more of that very soon.

AFN

Ian.
