Scourge Of The Panzerwaffe?

The latest addition to my 28mm late war British force is this Rubicon Models Sherman Firefly.
The crew are from Empress Miniatures.
Off to GHQ again tomorrow for a return encounter between Rome and Carthage.
Until next time.........

    1. A deadly beast too. 🙂 I think I have saved OHQ to the vocabulary, that's my excuse anyway😂

  3. Great work, super looking Sherman. The addition of the crew figure really adds to it.

    1. Thank you Donnie. I made a mistake the co-drivers space was used to store the additional ammunition required for the bigger gun, perhaps he is popping his head out for air😉

  4. Lovely work there Phil on a great model with some nice additional armour plates to it. A favourite tank ever since I had the Matchbox kit way back in the 1970's.

  6. Splendid work Phil…
    It gives a good impression of just how big the 17 pounder gun was…

    All the best. Aly

    1. Thank you Aly. It's not surprising they attempted to break up the outline.

  7. A splended looking piece there once again phil! Lovely work onthe weathering... looks just right. Just out of interest, do you use the sponge technique for the chipping effect?
