Sherman V Firefly, Dragon v Tamiya?

[Radpoe Spitfire]

Hi, just asking which Firefly is the better of the two, the dragon/cyber hobby or the Tamiya one?

Also what is the Dragon 1c hybrid like as a kit?

I just cannot decide which to purchase with a view to building a Notts Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry Sherman Firefly as they used both types.

If you can help, please do.

Regards Adrian

The Tasca Sherman firefly is probably the best released from any company, it's been released by Tamiya recently

So I would opt for the tamiya boxing, it's also cheaper than the Tasca boxing.

I can second this.

Thank you fella's for the prompt replies re the Firefly V. I know the Tamiya boxing was a limited edition and is not listed in this years catalogue, so shall keep my eyes peeled.

Kind regards Adrian:-)

Any takers for what the Dragon hybrid 1c is like please?

The dragon kit can be made into a nice build, but if you can get the Tasca or tamiya boxing you won't regret it.

Very little is required for the Tasca shermans but the Dragon kits are a little rough around the edges and soft in detail.

Try the second hand kit sellers for the Tasca or tamiya boxing they truly are light years ahead of Dragon.
