We thought it was the shrapnel round (Green Ball), but in fact it was putting 4000 rounds through guns intended to fire about a hundred rounds against Soviets swarming across the German border.<br /><br />Ah, the good old days!<br /><br />DaveDave Dralehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129140646117868155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-57878939001115028172014-02-09T13:23:39.972+00:002014-02-09T13:23:39.972+00:00Great work, John!Great work, John!Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230149195753516430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-79919158998347090502014-02-09T13:16:54.661+00:002014-02-09T13:16:54.661+00:00A very nice model of the lovely Firefly.
