Your paint work and weathering are excellent!

Really, just how those pieces should look - and indeed would have looked in the Enthusiast line several years ago - had Unimax not decided to cut costs...

They both look very nice. Did you have to stretch the Firefly's tracks to make them fit ? They look pretty good whatever you did.

yeah, I used the warm/cold + stretch method discussed in the 1/32 forum; It seemed to help. The new firefly is really a nice mold with great tooling; the weathering, or lack of, was very disappointing, but I was impressed with the tooling.

Very nice. 8) How does the firefly compare to the UK M4 sherman??
