I will have to get several of these. This seems to be one of 21st finest.

Beautiful! Of course the Famo must be coming right after.

Now, we need a 25 pounder with Limber & Tractor to offset this.

We need the 88 now!

Want the 25 pounder ASAP!

Bring on the British figures and tanks, armoured cars, etc. This important area of expansion represents more than the Brits, themselves. It includes all the countries that received British war materiel (like Russia) and includes all those countries in the British Commonwealth. For example, Canada, N...

Definitely could use some modern Armour. King Tger is coming out. So the contemporary equivalent makes sense, as well. Leopard II A6. It would be very cool to see the earlier Leopard 1 A4, or other variations.

Really, for WWII we need British and Russian Armour. Huge representation hole here.

Really nice custom work. Nothing like real metal to set things right.

Added some up to date pictures of the Fire Fly, if anyone is interested. When they bring out Britsh figures, then I'll finish it and complete a diorama for it.

Using the BBI - not really. The turret could be used & changed. But the 45 degree hull was mainly used and reserved for US forces, mostly using the T-28 turret. Neither company has produce the T-28 turret yet. Heaven only knows why! Of course, when it comes to Shermans, there is an exception to ever...

The only 1/18 subject I've taken the time to really measure is the Sherman tank. It's very accurate for overall dimensions. Most details area accurately sized as well. I required this exactness when I was creating my Firefly. I overlaid exact 1/18 scale plans derived from accurate 1/35 scale drawing...

I've been waiting for British anything since the very beginning of XD.

For your first real custom job in 1/18 scale, your doing an excellent job! Well crafted and designed -looking forward to more pictures! Course, I'd probablly make a Sextant, with a 25 pounder, instead. Great subject and one of my favourites.
