The British Way...1/48 Sherman Firefly IC

#5/2020

My dad´s next little armour project for diversion.
Tamiya kit built oob, only added an antenna. Painted with AK Real Color British SCC15 Olive Drab.
It´s one of Tamiya´s older kits with a metal lower hull. Gives the model nice weight but makes aligning the suspension tricky because of the use of CA glue. The locating pins are metalones on the hull, so the bogeys aren´t always mounted in the correct angle.

B Sqn, East Riding of Yorkshire Yeomanry, 33rd Armoured Brig., February 1945 in the Ardennes

Hi Reini. Your dad has, once again, produced a masterpiece in 1/48. Like John, above, I have one of these in the stash but it will take me a lot longer to build too! 

Kind regards,

Stix

Really nice Sherman. 👍 I particularly like the subtle weathering...not over the top.

I've got one of these to build, but I doubt whether I'll finish it as quick as your Dad has. Tell him, nice one.
