Airfix Gift Set 50186 Classic Conflict Tiger 1 vs Sherman Firefly Vc 1:72

Boxed gift set containing paint, adhesive and brushes.  Most come with stands, vac-form bases or informative display cards.

Although outwardly similar to the standard Sherman at first glance, the 17-pounder anti-tank gun mounted on the 'Firefly' was capable of knocking out a Tiger.  The Germans soon learned to look for the long barrelled Shermans first in any engagement and to make the Firefly a priority target.  The days of the mighty Tiger's dominance may have been numbered, but no Allied tank commander would relish the prospect of facing one in combat.
