I’ve completed all the work on my old Dragon Firefly VC kit and even built and painted a commander figure for added interest. Overall the build went along pretty well, I even used this kit to make Hessian camo which I think turned out pretty decent. The decals were a bit of a miss, most were very fragile and broke apart, but I got the ones I really cared about on there. I finished with a basic wash and filter made from AKs quick gen skin tone paints followed by some basic dirt and dust weathering, hope you all enjoy! Critiques welcomed!

It took a couple hours of work to get this to look the way I wanted to, but I think this turned out decently well and when it’s all painted up I think it’s going to look really nice on this kit. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a really long time now but have held off out of fear of how it would turn out, but ai bought this Dragon Firefly VC kit so I could finally give it a shot!

Pretty happy with how this one turned out, everything seemed to want to try and go wrong right at the end, especially the decals and weathering. Just happy I was able to turn it around and salvage it still!

Really enjoying the skins from Season 4, especially the NATO skins, made some realistic weapon loadouts to pair with them.

Here is my take on the T-34-88, based off the photos of the tanks found in Courland. I will say this is not 100% accurate and if you look at the model close enough you will see some differences from the real tank. That being said I had a lot of fun doing this build, and the weathering and snow effects turned out a lot better than I had thought they would (especially since at one point I had to strip and repaint the model!). The base kit was an Italeri T-34-85, I modified the gun with a Trumpeter 52-K barrel and some Royal Model German T-34 stowage bins.I I was originally planning on making a small base for this, but I’m just happy with how it is now and wanted to share it, critiques are welcomed!
