Hello fellow Canucks!

Im going to be building DML's Sherman Firefly (kit 6182) but before I do, I really need to know if their is a website with pictures of Fireflies in Canadian service. I need to know what markings go where.

Thanks!

Try this link for markings
http://www.armouredacorn.com/

You will have to figure out which Regiment you want to have your Firefly marked as.

Both Archer Fine Transfers and Ultracast makes markings for Canadian Shermans.

There are great images of Canadian Fireflys in the book "The Royal Canadian Armoured Corps- An Illustrated History"...most major city public libraries have at least one copy....or you can also buy it....highly recommended if you build any kind of Canadian armour or have an interest in Canadian armour....usually around $65.00 Cdn.
