1:72 scale beginners gift set.
These sets have been designed for the beginner in mind. They have slightly less parts that the standard version and are a less challenging build.
Complete with poly cement, brush and three acrylic paints.Requiring quite significant redesign of the turret and with the gun mounted on its side, the 17-pounder equipped Shermans became arguably the most effective Allied tanks of the Second World War and were easily capable of knocking out any German tanks they encountered following the Normandy landings. Given the name 'Firefly', unwary German tank commanders who assumed this new Allied tank was just a standard Sherman were in for an unwelcome surprise.
