During WWII, the British recognized that the US-built M4 Sherman's greatest weakness was its 75mm main gun, and sought to solve that problem by installing the powerful high-velocity 17-pounder gun in a slightly modified turret. This gun gave the Sherman Firefly the firepower it needed to take on the powerful German armor it would encounter in the field.

Tasca's new Sherman Firefly VC kit isn't the first kit of this vehicle available in 1/35 scale, but it's certainly the best! Tasca's trademark fine molding and maniacal attention to detail shines in every part of this kit. Tracks are exquisitely molded as soft, flexible belts, making assembly a snap while not sacrificing detail at all. Includes photo-etched detail parts, a commander figure, and markings for four vehicles: two British, one Polish, and one from New Zealand.
