    Thanks Papa Mashy and Zathros :) Frankly, I don't know. I assume 220 grams. This is the original book from Halinski.

    M4A4 Sherman VC Firefly, Halinski 1:25

    Thank you guys! :) Finally, I got to build something that is not repeated a few hundred times :-D and this is the lower hull I was so glad and carried away that I built everything in one breath, and completely forgot to take pictures. So there are only final photos of the hull assembly. As...

    Exactly! At some point you just get apathy to the process and the model, because you do not see real progress and shape in your endless work. Also, you lose some precision in assembling. So I decided, that it will be always the first thing I will do in armor, when I get the most enthusiasm...

    M4A4 Sherman VC Firefly, Halinski 1:25

    So, I continued with another part of the link, and these are feathers (teeth), or, to be exact, 400 feathers A small confession - I did enough to get two track together. If i need more - i will assemble on the go. Each feather consists of 7 parts, and here I also used the method of Mister...

    Thanks Gandolf50. This is the reason i started them first. If you over it, anything else just a peace of cake ;) Well, do not get used to the fact that I will update the process every day, it is just accumulated images of the whole assembly process. I started to assemble tracks . Since the...

    M4A4 Sherman VC Firefly, Halinski 1:25

    From my experience with tanks, I know that the part that you get stuck the most is the tracks. Therefore, I decided to start with them and only after I finish, start publishing the assembly log. In order not to drive you crazy and not to leave you to grow old in front of the screen waiting for...

    M4A4 Sherman VC Firefly, Halinski 1:25

    Hello I took a “small” break of five years. But once you start building paper models - you will always build paper models. I do not return to the assembly of models as quickly as before, but with determination and perseverance. And the model I chose is the pinnacle of my “construction career”...

    Thanks guys! I live in Israel and here we don't have any model shops or distributors at all. All my models I got from outside of Israel, by any means - some I got with friends from Europe and the most part of my collection I ordered through Russian online shops (I know Russian). They have the...

    The painting is on the level in GPM models. They were the first to try computer effects and completed models look astonishing. On the other hand, Halinski also uses effects printing in latest models. I didn't assembled newer models from GPM, but oldest ones easy to assemble overall. Here and...

    Thanks Zathros. Sadly, second degree studies took all my time and I didn't progress much for past year. But its over now and I'm back to business! :p The work continues with turret assembling. Joining outer skin and base of a turret included a lot of measuring and cutting, but eventually...
