Putting the Firefly together

Well not much was left to wrap up the tank build. The tracks are the ones from the kit painted with Model Master Raw Sienna, washed with Raw Umber, rubbed with a little dirt pigments and dry brushed with Model Master Dark Anodonic Gray and Aluminum for the metallic effects. Dragon gets real credit for making a set of completely useful and well detailed one piece tracks. A huge time saver.

So with tracks on, I then added the tie down rope for the stowage, the tow cable, the figures and that about did it.

All said and done, this was a pretty easy build. The real credit goes to Formations for making simple to use conversion and upgrade sets and to Dragon for making such a nice kit.

Up next: Starting the diorama
