Airfix A02341 Sherman Firefly Military Vehicle

As Allied forces began to move off the D-Day beaches and into the Normandy countryside, they knew they would be facing strong opposition from German Panzer units, including the feared Heavy Tank Battalions. Fortunately, they now had a tank which was capable of taking on the Tigers and Panthers, in the form of the Sherman Firefly, a British designed marriage of the M4 Sherman and their famous 17-pounder anti-tank gun. Usually deployed in a ratio of one Firefly to four standard Shermans, German tank commanders soon learned to look for the lo barrel of the Firefly and attempt to knock these tanks out first.1:72 Scale Skill Level : 1 (where 1 is for the beginner and 4 is for the more experienced modeller) Flying Hours Tokens : 1 Number of Parts : 31 Product Dimensions : 82mm
