M4 Sherman IC Firefly

Wim van der Luijt
nice project.....count me in!

Adam Farnsworth
Now a lovely shade of green (Vallejo 70895 Gunship Green). On to painting the fiddly bits.

Now painted the fiddly white bit on the gun and added the decals.
Next I'm going to give a bit of weathering a try and add some Mig Brown Wash.

Wim van der Luijt
yes, now for the interesting bit.....the firefly looks very good so far...now it needs to become a bit more used

Adam Farnsworth
That was the aim of this one to try out a bit of shading and weathering effects. Bit of trepidation it must be said.

Wim van der Luijt
Same here every time I arrive at that stage....just dive in...build another when you fail 🙂

Adam Farnsworth
Think it's done for now. Though will probably experiment more with it.

Peter Hardy
Looks brilliant so far Adam, Wim is right though, dive in an "Have a go". I have two partially completed Sherman's hiding behind a stack of new kits! I just have no luck with them. You can always leave it as a straight from the factory unit and put it on a flatcar! And, if all else fails, put Dutch markings on it. Wim and Kees will wax lyrical about it then guaranteed! Anyway, Wim and I are obviously fans so do your best, we trust you!

Wim van der Luijt
Looking good sir! (hmmm Dutch Shermans?? cool idea 😉 )
