How to paint a model tank without using any expensive tools or products.
Model: Tamiya's rebox of Asuka's 1/35 scale Sherman VC Firefly.
The Sherman VC Firefly was a M4A4 modified to carry the new 17-pounder gun, as the previous 2-pounder and 6-pounders had not been effective against German rivals. The Firefly was so effective that German troops were ordered to prioritise the Firefly as a target in battle during the Second World War.
An extremely good kit with great detail and moving parts, but quite complex at times. Therefore I would only recommend this kit to more advanced modellers. I've found that subtle discolouration in the paintwork has given it quite a realistic look.
This kit is actually moulded by Tasca (formerly Asuka), known as a manufacturer of superbly engineered and well detailed Sherman kits, and re-boxed by Tamiya.
