UNLEASH THE FIREPOWER OF THE SHERMAN VC FIREFLY
Introducing the Warlord Games WLG402011005 Bolt Action Miniatures game British Sherman VC Firefly Tank Miniatures Set, meticulously crafted in 1/56th scale.
THE TANK THAT TURNED THE TIDE
Recognized as the bane of heavy German armor, the Sherman Firefly was an innovative British solution that mounted the formidable 17-pounder anti-tank gun on the Sherman V chassis. Designed to excel in combat against formidable opponents like the Panther and Tiger tanks, this model represents the evolution of battlefield strategy.
A GAME-CHANGING VARIANT
As a version of the American Sherman equipped with the powerful 17-pounder gun, the Firefly earned its place as a critical asset for British forces in Normandy. It was so highly regarded that German crews were instructed to prioritize targeting Fireflies during engagements.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Manufactured in numbers between 2100 and 2200 before production ended in 1945, the Sherman VC Firefly became known as the ‘Charlie’ tank in the field, a designation that reflected its upgraded armament. By D-Day, sufficient units were available to ensure one Firefly per troop, providing a robust response to the threat posed by German armor.
DETAILS THAT ENHANCE REALISM
Like all our plastic vehicle kits, the Firefly comes complete with a dedicated sheet of waterslide decals featuring various unit markings, tank names, and identifying symbols, allowing for a personalized touch that elevates your model on the tabletop battlefield.
EASY ASSEMBLY AND PAINTING REQUIRED
