Inspired by Marks build here is my take on modifying the kit to represent a British Firefly....I will add some aftermarket parts/ scratched mods/ sourced tracks/ and sourced decals.....![]() ![]() ![]() The biggest calling card of the Firefly modification was the 17 pounder main gun...... I'll be using this book as a reference for adding prototypical Firefly details.......... ![]() Well, this should be another enjoyable trip down fantasy lane............ Also, I'll be referencing this kit, 1/48 Firefly, for added details... ![]() As a "toon" vehicle some artistic / scale license will be featured, such as using a 1/35 aftermarket 17 pounder gun tube.... more whoop/ass >>>>>>>>>>> ![]() Dry fitting the A/M [Aber] to the Meng turret........... ![]() A brass muzzle brake will be added........... ![]() The rubber band tracks included with the kit will be replaced with 1/35 scale tracks, sourced from a Dragon 1/35 Sherman kit. ![]() ![]() Some dry fitting of the Dragon track, this is a definite upgrade from the kit supplied tracks. ![]() More later...............

Cheers Mark, I will fabricate the armored box that is attached to the rear of the Firefly's turret. If I find a "suitable" box in the parts bin I'll use it, and I can cobble something up using sheet/strip styrene....if no donor kit/part is found.... Toon Cheers, ggc
