Default RE: 1/16 Firefly

Really nice work, especially the metal appearance of the tank. Two things though, really distract from the otherwise very reaslistic appearance... the stowed canvas items should not be directly laying over the engine vents. The Sherman is already overloaded with the new heavier gun and the extra tracks for added protection and coverering the vents would drastically overheat the engine. [&:]Exhaust etc exited between the air cleaners at the rear, but there is nowhere else on the Sherman for intake vents. The other is painting the inside of the hatches white.. absolutely a BIG no-no. [:@]Hatches have to be the same color as the exterior. When opened, they do not wave a big "here I am" flag, and when buttoned up, the darker color pointed the location in a smoke and panic filled interior. Do you have it motorised? Looks great.
