Sherman Firefly - Matchbox/Revell 1:76 - a real one this time :)
« on: August 07, 2014, 10:12:22 PM »
Two-days long project. Very simple model but I love it because of fit, diorama, simplicity etc :)
Painted with Talens, Vallejo, Humbrol. Weathered with Tamyia set D and Kremer pigments. Scrub by Faller and that's all.
So here it is: Sherman Firefly by Matchbox/Revell 1:76 from 1974 (date on sprues) :)

You need strengthening, toughening
It takes a bit of dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you

You prove that there's plenty of life in those old kits!

That's one killer Firefly! The dirt on the front fenders really makes it for me.

built several of these for a club diorama back in the '80's - surprisingly good for a Matchbox kit :)

Glad the driver ignored his commander's cry of "full speed ahead !" ;D ... or is this before they went over the edge ??
