Roy McKenzieMike, nice fix on the fit problem. I have the Dragon Mk.Ic Firefly. Wonder if it has the same problems.

Roy McKenzieMike, you did a great job on the turret. Can not tell there was a seam. How did you do the texture on the turret seam?
27 October 2013, 00:34
Roy McKenzieI was thinking that but just wanted to make sure. It came out great.

Mike KGood work my man. I still don't have the courage to build any of my aircraft kits.

Hunter CumminsThats what I said 🙂 and I didnt either till I realized mondat was veterans day and was snooping around the stash and found tnis p 51😉🙂

Mike KI used exactly one part from a photo etch set for detailing Shermans. The rest of the p.e. came with the kit. I also scratch built a few things.

william wisethat camo looks pretty good nice looking firefly, besides the figures what other stuff came with this kit for upgrades, did it have DS tracks?
24 November 2013, 23:23
Mike KThanks William. The tracks were indy links not ds and the kit came with a small fret of p.e. You can see them in my pics.

Hunter CumminsHey mike ilove the mkdel its turning out superb and wa t tobuild this kit 🙂
What were the problems with the kit?!?!?!
24 November 2013, 23:43
Mike KThanks Fabian.
Thanks Hunter. The kit had a few fit issues but nothing I couldn't handle. A warped upper hull, some rather large holes for mounting the tools that I just filled in, and a large seam to fill on the turret.

Hunter CumminsThanks mikec🙂 cant wait to get this one 🙂🙂 and like I said beautiful job 🙂
(Jw but does the other orange box firefly have the individual links ????)

Clifford KeeslerGood job Mike. Looks really good. I Wish I could get up the guts to build some of my armor. I have never built a tank of any kind.
25 November 2013, 02:04
james johnson..Nice job Mike, this got me looking for a Sherman to build. Can?t seem to find what I?m looking for from my usual purveyor?.
Question: I see allot of folks messing around with weld seams. Is this application addressed in any of the popular How To books or DVD?s?
Thanks for posting,
Sincerely,
WF

Mike KThanks Hunter. I've never seen the other Firefly kit but my guess would be that it does have indy links.
Thank you Clifford. IMHO armor builds are the easiest of all.
Thanks Jonny. Friend request accepted.
And thank you James. I wish I could answer your question but I don't know. I get all my info for free from the internet!

Hunter CumminsMike get any pin washes or pigments on or anything ???? Im really looking forward to the end result
30 November 2013, 05:00
Mike KThanks guys.
Yes Hunter. I've started the weatherig process. But I'm having trouble getting the look I want. I will post more pics soon. Maybe later tonight or tomorrow.
30 November 2013, 14:08
Hunter CumminsHaha ibcan never get the look I want either on green vehicals 😛 so I bought the vallejo green vehical weathering setn🙂 it looks great and cant wait to use it 🙂 I wish you the bestnof luck with the weathering and cant wait for more pics 🙂
30 November 2013, 16:44
Mike KMade a start on some weathering. Pigments, dry-brushing, and a little oil paint. Then I stopped for a day or two to refresh my perspective. I'm kind of hitting a wall with this one.

Steve WilsonHi Mike... Great build, it looks massive!!!🙂
Is that Evel Knievel or Eddie kidd jumping his Bike over the Tank???
4 December 2013, 07:21
Mike KThanks Steve. I think that is Ghostrider 🙂
Thanks Kim.
Thank you Fabian. I think you may be right.

Mike KNot done yet Hunter. Im going to pile some stowage on the back and add some dirt to the tracks.
13 December 2013, 11:52
Hunter CumminsOmg now it will look even better 😄😄😄 what willyou use for the dirt and stowage???
13 December 2013, 20:14
Mike KI'll use pigments on the tracks and I'm working on making rolls and tarps out of tissue. Tent poles from plastic rod. Plus a few odds and ends from my spares box...a crate, a gas can, etc. It's slow going because I've totally lost interest in this build. But I'm going to see it through. I swore I would never start another kit until the present build is done.
15 December 2013, 23:29
Fabian D.ceep it up, it´s quite common to loose motivation in between 🙂
Maybe I should try this swearing thing... would definely cerate a lot more moddeling space😉

Hunter CumminsThat looks amazing 😄😄 how did you do the streaking affect ???? This looks top notch and this is just amazing
3 January 2014, 00:25
Mike KThanks Hunter. I used oil paints for the streaking. Tan, brown, and black.
3 January 2014, 00:30
Mike KIf you mean the bare metal effect, I used a cheap craft store acrylic paint that I really like. It's called "Metallic Gunmetal Gray" by FolkArt. But first I painted them brown then added different dirt flavored pigments.
3 January 2014, 01:04
Hunter CumminsAhhhh what a simple yet effective way 🙂😄 I will look for some 😄 thanks for the tip=)😄
