The so-called Sherman Firefly featured a long-barreled 17 pdr. anti-tank gun, that was much more effective than the original 75mm gun, capable of penetrating a Tiger I's frontal armor at over 1,000 meters using regular ammunition. The majority of Fireflies were adapted from M4A4 tanks, designated Sherman V by the British, while some were made using the earlier M4, or Sherman I in British usage. Vehicles rearmed with a 17 pdr. gun were given the suffix C, with the resulting units being Sherman VC and Sherman IC.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout the Model\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDetailed 1\/48 assembly model kit of the British Sherman IC Firefly. ★Length: 151mm. ★Features both hull-mounted and separately molded tools and accessories. ★Die-cast chassis for added weight and realism. ★Assembly type tracks with one-piece straing sections featuring realistic sag effect. ★Includes markings for 4 tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"seo-breadcrumb-links\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya\"\u003eTamiya\u003c\/a\u003e » \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-plastic-model-kits\"\u003ePlastic Model Kits\u003c\/a\u003e » \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-armor-model-kits\"\u003eArmor\u003c\/a\u003e » \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-1-48-armor-model-kits\"\u003e1\/48 Armor\u003c\/a\u003e » Tamiya 1\/48 British Sherman Ic Firefly - 32532\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild Better Models with Tamiya\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is part of the Tamiya lineup known for precision engineering, strong fit, and hobby-friendly design.
