From JamesM: 15mm Sherman Firefly x 2 - For MartinC (16pts)

Hi folks,

Having painted something for one of my gaming buddies, I could hardly miss out the other. I'd found a couple of Plastic Soldier Company Fireflys for Martin's budding British Armoured Squadron of Battlefront 'Hit the Beach' Shermans. Since these would be going to Martin anyway, I decided to put them together and stick some paint on them for him as well.

Nice to be back painting some British green tanks (Vallejo Model Colour 70.924 Martin, in case you want to paint your others something other than whatever green you have at hand...). I've kept the decals to a minimum as I'm unsure what Martin plans to do with his others - we discussed either 4th or 8th Armoured Brigade as options to fit his Sherman II's.

The air recognition star on the rear deck sits under the travel cradle for the 17-pdr gun barrel. I included the WD  numbers on the sides just to give a little detail.

I also left these unweathered, so that Martin can match them in when he paints his others (all 8 will have been painted in the time it took me to write this blog post, no doubt).

2 x 16mm vehicles = 16 points.

Aw thank you , these are perfect. You mean there are specific colours and not just a random green!
