British Sherman Firefly VC

Description

Bane of the heavy German armour, the Sherman Firefly was the Britishinvention that mounted the powerful 17 pdr anti-tank gun in a Sherman V. Ourmodel is based on the later Sherman V and is now available in plastic to tearapart Panthers, Tigers et al at your command…

This is a variant of the American Sherman equipped with a powerful17 pounder anti-tank gun. It soon became highly valued as the only British tankcapable of defeating the Panther and Tiger tanks it faced in Normandy atstandard combat ranges. In recognition of this, German tank and anti-tank guncrews were instructed to attack Fireflies first. Between 2100 and 2200 weremanufactured before production wound down in 1945.

Often known as the ‘Charlie’ tanks in the field because of the ‘c’denoting them as rearmed with the 17-pdr. There were enough of them by D-Day toissue 1 per troop, providing the British with a good answer to the threat ofthe German big tanks.

As with all of our plastic vehicle kits, the Firefly comes with its own sheetof waterslide decals with a variety of unit markings, tank names, and otheridentifying markings to give your model that additional touch of realism when ittakes to the tabletop battlefield!
