Background information:
The Sherman Firefly was a modified version of the American Sherman tank, equipped with a more
powerful British 17-pounder anti-tank gun. This modification made the Firefly one of the few Allied
tanks that could compete with the German Tiger and Panther tanks. Its use by the 2nd Fife and Forfar
Yeomanry in the Rhineland and the 2nd Battalion Coldstream Guards in Normandy during 1944
testifies to its importance and effectiveness on the battlefield. With this model kit, you can recreate
a piece of this fascinating history and create a monument to the courage and engineering of that time.
