Well, as custom as olive drab can be! I was sick of that white and grey wash that the bbi sherman comes in and wanted it to match the others. I puttied the huge holes that the gear plugged into on the front and the turret too. I plan on adding gear and decals and weathering it when I get time again. LMK what you think!

and the "before" pic for reference

I realy like it ! Looks far better in olive drab ! Can't wait to see the next step.
BTW, can you do some pics of your Firefly ? Thanks.

Good job! I remember what a pain it was to remove those accessories off a BBI Sherman.

Just a spraycan of Tamiya OD. I've had a lot of good results using tamiya spraycans
