  1. Many moons ago I dipped my my toe into the possibility of converting a bashed up M4 and M4A3 Tamiya kits into one - a Firefly Vc. I know there are already kits, but theyre beyond my budget. For me this conversion is an exercise in challenging my own skills as a modeller using old and new methods - I'm not a rivet counter & believe a kit is just a blank canvas, so the odd mm out is not really an issue. Where I am concentrating on is in the detail, which differentiate the Firefly Vc from other Sherman types. While I can access sprue images and non scale plans, I'd like help with dimensions for a certain areas, as the project progresses, if anyone can please . So the hard work beginsšŸ˜Ø 1. Initially the conversion is aimed at lengthening the upper hull, which has already been started. This i did, by studying both hulls for a long while deciding how and where the join would be made. After much deliberation & holding of breathšŸ˜° Ive cut and mated the M4 front and M4A3 rear sections. I now need the dimension of the Vc upper hull, from the point where the Glacis plate meets the front mud guard to the rear of of the hull please. This will then be followed by converting the M4 turret. I now have the turret radio box, rear Hull plate and Stowage bin dims, but still need rectangular turret loader's hatch surrounding weather guard and diameter of the turret mantle opening for the 17pdr gun. I hope as the project progresses, to figure out how to download photos as a WIP, then as a finished modelšŸ‘ Kind regards, Adrian
