Thanks. I really like the buildings, too. The fact that I got three for the price of one makes them even nicer!;)
 
Great display and lovely looking model - however the 17 pdr muzzle brake doesn't look quite right. Perhaps its just the angle of the photo.

That's been discussed in threads from the Wescoaster Show that the muzzle brake was a bit more ball- like (more rounded).

The muzzle brake is accurate ,not all fireflies had the round headed muzzle brake fitted,there are many photos available of the muzzle type used by K&C.One still exists outside Amersfoort Cavalry Museum if memory serves,with the flat headed muzzle brake . Ken

Thanks. I think the Figarti Firefly has the correct muzzle brake. Still love the K&C, though.
 
To my eyes the K&C Firefly muzzle brake looks more akin to the doulbe baffle muzzle brake of the 76mm M1 Gun ,the head of K&C's Muz is not rounded enough to be accurate ,imo, Ken

Thanks for the pics. That is one fine looking piece. I've got the Figarti one and am currently in a major dilemma as to whether or not I should pick this one up too!
