I might get time next weekend to have another go at a blitz, so I’m thinking of a simple conversion and make a tulip with a punch.

Intriguing!

Hmmmmm. What can it be. Will be watching.

I’m thinking Firefly loaded for bear

Well you've got me stumped and I'm intrigued to see what it's going to be!!

Looking forward to this as the Tulips look so OP

Max Bygraves?!!!!

Did this have something to do with rockets on a turret?

Yes it’s a simple Firefly Tulip conversation, you just have to love the concept of fitting a/c rockets on the side of a tank.

I hope to start some time tomorrow probably mid morning GMT.

Here are the two kits I intend to blitz both oddball Sherman Tanks the Crab Mine flail and a Firefly Tulip. Starting 10:00 GMT Saturday 17th

Good to have a bit of armour for company ...

What ... you doing two together now ...

The Firefly Tulip was originally a Canadian idea to up arm armoured cars by adding RP’s (Rocket Projectiles) this idea eventually finished up as adding 60lb 3inch RP’s as used on a/c to the turrets of Sherman tanks and later Cromwell tanks, the idea was not as anti tank as the RP’s were not very accurate in this role but to lay down heavy firepower if ambushed by troops.

The kits are quick build so I thought I would try two at a time.

Building on a tray so I can watch The Big Bang Theory at the same time
