Polish Sherman Firefly/105mm Rubicon 1/56th (very pleased)
« on: June 15, 2018, 09:19:24 PM »
Very pleased with this which is very rare for me.
Had to mount MG in Hull for firefly. But simply imagine it's a "dummy" gun. Only because the 105mm turret needed it.








Thank you.

The South African one had no hull gun.

Reference: Sandstone Heritage Trust, Free State prov.

There are a couple in museums in Continental Europe with hull guns.

Well done.
Really like the Green.
I tend to paint mine too dark.
