Hi guys, here's the reveal pics of my Firefly. First go with Tamiyas 1/48 armour. No problems at all, great fit, reasonable detail for this scale and manufacturer. I'll probably look into availability of PE sets for my next 1/48 AFV. I think some kits can look a bit toy like when you go to the smaller scales, so some nice PE details would work well.
No problems with Tamiyas decals, although there are only about 6 on here!
Tracks are link and length, again good detail for scale, don't even know if AM tracks are available in 1/48?
Overall, a great little kit, as you would expect from Tamiya.
Anyway...... Zzzzzzz

1st East Riding Yeomanry, France '44.

Looks great mate. I'm tempted by some Tamiya 1/48 armour for when I start building targets, ... sorry tanks. :D

Chief's armoured division growing in strength.

:cheers2:

I didn't actually realise that it was 1/48 until I was looking at the travel lock on the rear deck... I was thinking that's odd... it's a bit thin looking. I glanced up at the title of your build and saw that it was 1/48 and not 1/35. Colour me surprised. Haha
Nice scale deception Chief, that's well done. The mud effects and your weathering is also really well done. Great work bud. :)
