M4A1Started building the Asuka Firefly. No pics from the actual build but Asuka builts very nice and fast. Everything fits very well. Using a detail set from Black Dog with the hessian camouflage. Started to add hessian tape made from masking tape to make the transitions from the hull to the pieces of tape more smooth. Also pictured are the tank crew busts I'm gonna use.

M4A1Figure busts are from Resicast. I really like the stuff Graham from Resicast makes.

M4A1I'm gonna add additional stuff on the front part the hull. First I have to finish the lower hull part with the suspension and finish the tracks because the hessian tape pieces cover the upper part of the tracks and hull. Then upper and lower hull parts can be glued together and additional stuff like spare tracks and/or boxes can be adder.

Michael OsadciwNice! I'm using the same kit for a French did soon. Good to hear it went together well as its my first Asuka kit.

Michael OsadciwI'm curious: once you have the figs in the hatches is it obvious at all that this kit has no turret interior or 17pdr breech?

M4A1Thanks Michael! Currently building 4 Asuka Sherman kits and they all are excellent. When you use the Asuka turret and you put full figures in the turret you won't see that the kit hasn't turret interior because they will fill most of the hatch opening. The turret I'm using here is the turret of the Black Dog detail set. In that toen there's only room for half figures.

M4A1Gave the Firefly it's first layer of gray paint. Build the MiniArt British tank riders with heads of Hornet I'm gonna use. Also working on the Bronco T62 workable tracks instead of the belt type tracks in the kit. This is not a project I'm working on regularly, but more as a side project while working on others.

M4A1Finished construction of the Bronco tracks. They fit well. Next step is painting and wheatering. The pictures show the dry fit of the tracks.
