Rubicon M4 Hybrid - part three

The Rubicon M4 Hybrid Firefly assembled. The darker grey patch is where the pistol port has been filled in (and checked for smoothness by painting it grey.


It is noticeable that the coax machine gun is a bit bent, I will fix that.




I am not going to add a great deal of stowage to this example.

Rubicon M4 Hybrid - part two

I have added lifting rings on the turret, blanked off the pistol port, and rotated the engine cover handles through 90 degrees.

Rubicon M4 Hybrid - part one

At Salute 2018 I bought four of Rubicon's boxed kits. Last month I started work on the M4 Sherman I. This month I started on the Sherman I Hybrid.

 The box is the standard from Rubicon.
The chassis is the same as the M4.
The Hybrid hull comes on a separate sprue, the other three sprues in this photograph are the same as in the M4 kit.
The two turret 75mm sprue.
Instructions and sand shields.
