Canberra Paul's Pickelhaube New Zealand Firefly

Post by Jnewboy » Tue May 06, 2014 5:44 pm

Finally finish this up for my best friend Paul. I textured the turret, built telescope cages, a few other little things to bring it up to model quality. Painted it with AK Interactive's color modulation set. Mathew's kit was VERY good!! Thanks Guys!!

Jon you have outdone yourself once again. Its really fantastic - thanks so much Mate. Also a thank you to Matthew for the great kit.

I wanted a New Zealand Firefly because as Jon said it was close to home for me. It is also recognition of all the sacrifice and hard fighting put in by our New Zealand brothers, in this particular case in Italy.
