My latest project: 

A radio-control Sherman Firefly 1c of the Canadian Grenadier Guards 
- as it might have appeared during Operation Totalize: one of the preliminary battles which would lead to the encirclement & defeat at Falaise, France of German Army Group West by the combined forces of Canada, the USA & Great Britain in WW2.



Here is a link to a historic photo showing an actual Canadian Grenadier Guards Sherman 1c 
(Peter Williams collection - Tapatalk.com ) :

Another link to another Canadian Grenadier Guards tank showing the countershaded barrel & spare track links [used as additional spaced-armor protection against the German anti-tank rocket weapons] which I attempted to recreate on my model.

Though it's not a "rivet-counter special" by any means, I think my model captures the overall look of a Sherman 1c.

It's not finished yet but I'm planning to do a build video on youtube showcasing the steps I took to convert this model , which started life as an American Sherman M4A3 with a short-barreled 105mm howitzer:



Into this, a Canadian Sherman Firefly 1c variant with the long-barreled 17pounder anti-tank gun and a kitbashed approximation of the British-design All-Round-Vision hatch:



As a teaser, here are a few shots taken during the build, hope you enjoy!

Very nice! Always love to see another Firefly!!!

Very nice. Where did you get the #D/Resin parts for the conversion ?

Thanks for the compliment!

The 3d printed parts are from Shapeways.com.

They have a whole slew of M4 & other 1/16 tank parts:

Thanks for the compliment, Dean!

And thank you for your excellent line of decals, some of which I used on this and other projects as well!
