Thanks for the like.You definitely picked the better kit than me( basic tamiya kit with photo etched parts)will your model go on a diorama.

Oh, I really liked your paint work, a nice subdued dark green, good vibe to it, plus it was Canadian armor! Eventually I'll get to doing a trio of 1st Armoured Brigade Shermans in Italy.

This is just going to be on a vignette, on a base fitting the other 2 FGH tanks I've recently done. While researching them and wanting to build a FGH Sherman, there were several I liked, so I decided to do 3 different ones. Sherman MK V, Vaucelles, France, August 2, 1944 | Album by DuckyShot (1:35)

Whenever I see something related to the Regiment, I take a seat and watch 👀

Chris Derksen
Sounds good Rui, I had an interim project on the desk that I just completed tonight, so back onto the Firefly tomorrow.

I've never seen or heard of a horse hair camo netting before.
That's quite interesting!
Will follow your progress 👍

Chris Derksen
Yeah, I've only ever seen it on Fort Garry Horse tanks, spring of 1945. What little I could find on it says it was a specialty of theirs. I'll upload a couple more reference pictures

Simon Nagorsnik
Oh yes, great idea, thanks 👍

Mathias Decommere
Interesting! Never seen this before...

Chris Derksen
Thanks guys, appreciate it!

Mr James
Very interesting build. Great depiction of this unusual horse hair camo. The detail, painting and weathering is lovely. Great work

Chris Derksen
Thanks James! I am contemplating doing a Stuart with horsehair now. I've found some really good pics of them, so we'll see.

Gary Curling
Well done
