Sherman Firefly Vc - Plastic Model

The bane of heavy German armour, the Sherman Firefly was the British invention that mounted the powerful 17 pdr anti-tank gun into a Sherman V. Our model is based on the later Sherman V and is now available in plastic to tear apart Panthers, Tigers et al on your command.

This model is a variant of the American Sherman, equipped with a powerful 17-pounder anti-tank gun. It soon became highly valued as the only British tank capable of defeating the Panther and Tiger tanks it encountered in Normandy on standard battle ranges.

Special features of the Sherman Firefly Vc

• Powerful 17 pdr anti-tank gun: Equipped with one of the most effective anti-tank weapons of World War II.
• Historical significance: The only British tank capable of knocking out German Panther and Tiger tanks.
• Production: Between 2,100 and 2,200 units were produced before production was phased out in 1945.
• Equipment for realism: Comes with a sheet of waterslide decals featuring a variety of unit markings, tank names, and other identifying marks.
• Unassembled and unpainted: Models are supplied unassembled and unpainted, giving you the freedom to customise them as you wish.

The British Sherman Firefly tank was so respected that German tank and anti-tank gun crews were instructed to attack Fireflies first. There were enough of them by D-Day to issue one per troop, giving the British a good answer to the threat of the German big tanks.

As with all our plastic vehicle kits, the Firefly comes with its own sheet of waterslide decals, giving your model that extra touch of realism as it takes to the tabletop battlefield! This model is perfect for both collectors and gamers who want a detailed and historically accurate representation of one of the most iconic tanks of World War II. Along with our other games and merchandise, we offer a complete experience for all war enthusiasts.
