I have made some of PSC's Fireflies, two are captured ones, used by the Germans, there's more pictures on my blog:

Real nice looking tanks, and the two painted up for the Germans is a brilliant idea! I toyed with the idea of painting my T34 up for a captured version used by the Germans but I bottled it, or should I say changed my mind. I use Russian uniform green to highlight my British armour over a base coat of violet brown. It seems to work on both scales 28mm and 15mm

Thanks Bracken, much appreciated! I also have four T-34s painted up in the three tone camp scheme. They were some spares that I had kicking about. I think it makes a nice change to have captured kit knocking about! I'll try your highlighting tip on any future British armour that I paint.

I like your work. And the idea of captured vehicles. Helps with any 'overages' one might suffer when buying miniatures. Also, it can add more interest to games.

Cheers Rrobby! Yeah, they certainly add some colour to a force, I do intend on making more when I get extras, but this was a good way of getting the Fireflies on the table before buying any more British!

Very nice! I agree, beute panzer is a great way to make use of those leftover odds and ends.

cheers

I was wondering how you were going to get such little bitty things to light up. Then I realized it was a different kind of Firefly.
