The LHS got in about 40 Fireflies this week! (Osaka, Japan)
A quick poke through the box revealed a very tasty kit indeed.
I’ve always wanted to build a Firefly, and I think now’s the time!
It’s going for 3,800 Yen ($34 USD).
You beat me to it, Brian!! I was just going to post a thread that they are in at greatmodels. Supposed to be a new tool. Too many kits, too little time (and money)!!

oh good i might build another Trackless Firefly[4:-)]
I think those are great kits. I’ve got two, one is destined to be in Polish service and the other in British. As for the tracks, well, I was intimidated at first, but they turned out really good. Just takes some time and a few choice words every now and again.
Steve, This is supposidly a whole new tool!
I can’t wait to see it.

Oh what the heck … might just as well have another unbuilt Firefly on the shelf. [;)][;)]
Unless those tracks have changed, I might have to pass. Hopefully, they’re easier to build than the old ones.

Great models have them in stock now too.
Good luck on the build J-hulk. I can’t wait to see some pictures.

Thanks for the info. Do you think we wil have them here, too?
Dunno, Dwight. Aren’t releases in the Phillipines about the same as here in Japan?
I’ve noticed that Dragon releases seem to be fairly synchronous worldwide.
I am not sure. But we already have the T3485, M1 in Baghdad and the Panzer IVG on the shelf here. I just want to make a Firefly. I already missed the Dragon Easy eight for this “maybe later” attitude.
My shop is supposed to have the Firefly in Monday so I’ll be picking one up then. They should have been in today but the holiday knocked the delivery back.

heres the figures you get in the kit
the figures look great and there will be a full review on here http://pmms.webace.com.au/index.html a great site
Those figures are nice Jon, thanks for sharing. Maybe I could use my tracks from my Tamiya kit instead of those nasty indy tracks. [:D]

no Tigerman you cant use the Tamiya tracks on the Firefly, the hulls too long on the M4a4
as Robert says the Dragon tracks are good
Actually, I was teasing Jon, I didn’t think they were compatitable. I have read so many horror stories about those muti tracks, that they even scare me off. If there weren’t so many parts to each track, I think I would do it. It’s hard enough to finish a kit as it is.

The DML tracks take quite a bit of work and a whole pile of patience, but the end results can be very pleasing. Here’s a pic of them mounted on my TRV.
you shouldnt worry about those [censored] M4 tracks there easy
just do as im doing with my Firefly and leave the [censored] tracks off[4:-)]
