Excellent. Where did the spare wheels on the Firefly come from out of interest?

I have built a couple of other Tamiya Shermans and they come with two sets of wheels.  These were extras.

Very nice DrunkenSamurai.  Love the weathering you did... a tank just isn't a tank if it doesn't have mud all over it.  ;)

The shading is done with some cheap arylic craft paint thinned out until it is like water.  In the case of these tanks I used black and washed the entire tank after all the paint was done.

Nicely done!  I had already spotted these on your blog site yesterday (I know you and Tim K are working on a 28mm WWII project) and have been scouring UK model store websites ever since so I can try these myself  :)
