Shermanvc Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 A belated hello... as have been a member 5 years, though it seems I never put a hello here... and tbh over the last 5 years, I have posted very little. I confess, I only work in 1 to 1 scale, and my current project is the complete rebuild to serviceable condition of a Sherman VC (Firefly Tank). Lurking here purely because I know many modellers have a great passion for attention to detail and fine research, so often there are useful photos and references which are of help. My project can be found here... www.facebook.com/t289477 I have a huge stack of Firefly parts now... perhaps 97% of the bits... and most are original, including an A57 multibank engine... it's just a matter of having the time and money to put it all back together. Happy to chat Firefly any time. Cheers Tim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on you for not scaling down a bit That project of yours looks pretty complex. When do you think you'll be done? I started collecting parts about 6 years ago. I think another 3 or 4 years are likely... though of course it wont be "done" at that point, maybe 99% there. and that may not include the multibank engine. A lot of people see the Firefly as a Sherman with 17pdr gun... infact other than the hull, turret, and power train, the whole of the rest of the vehicle is pretty much a British Mod. I have been fortunate to track down some of the vehicle history, so will restore to the markings of Canadian Governor General Foot Guards with whom the vehicle ended the war.
