Bane of the heavy German armour, the Sherman Firefly was the British invention that mounted the powerful 17 pdr anti-tank gun in a Sherman I or V. Our model is based on the later Sherman V and is now available to tear apart Panthers, Tigers et al at your command…
This 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 faced in Normandy at standard combat ranges. In recognition of this, German tank and anti-tank gun crews were instructed to attack Fireflies first. Between 2100 and 2200 were manufactured before production wound down in 1945.
We’ve also included a tank commander with the kit. This is the perfect British medicine to deal with the plethora of German tanks we’ve recently released!
