"The response to my group build has been staggering." @dlee
the SH Firefly kits only come with a reflector gunsight
looked at pics and it seems, at least the postwar aircraft had the gyro gunsights, so, added a "square" one from the sparesbox

Firefly #2 is also really moving quickly, Reinhard (@grimreaper). You will have a whole fleet soon.
Nice that you added a gyro looking gun sight, my friend @grimreaper!
Nice upgrade on the gunsight, Reinhard @grimreaper
the IEAF received to Firefly batches from the Brits info says that one had the underside painted in duck egg green sky and the other one a more blueish tone on the few colour pics it always looks blueish, so went for that and painted the underside with AK RC Duck Egg Blue
Underside painting looks good, Reinhard @grimreaper Good decision to go for the blueish.
Duck Egg Blue is the safest choice here and looks great, my friend @grimreaper!
due to the lighting it´s not that visible, but repainted the underside with a slightly more blueish tone
upperside preshaded and ready for camo

Lower surface looks nice, Reinhard @grimreaper As does the pre-shading.
the instructions suggest mid stone, had only the AK RC one in the stash which looked too yellow compared with the colour pics of the real aircraft
used an old leftover selfmixed sand paint
The undersides, as well as your home brewed stone look excellent, my friend @grimreaper!
The selfmixed sand color looks perfect, Reinhard @grimreaper
second upper camo colour done with Tamiya XF-64 Red Brown
Very nicely painted, Reinhard @grimreaper
Looking excellent so far, my friend @grimreaper!
