Hi to all,

Is it true that Tasca comes out with a Firefly Vc with cast in cheak armor turret ?
Can someone verify this and perhaps show an image of it.

HLJ has this one on pre-order.

Did'nt know Tasca was gonna produce this one.

What's not to believe? That would be a very simple modification of the original Firefly VC kit.

Would it be possible that it's a firefly with the hybrid hull.
Because cast in cheak armor turrets where often seen on hybrid hulls.

If so, this would be fantastic news.

Let's wait and see when there's a image comming out from Tasca.

Great news!!

Here's the proof of sorts:

Nice to hear that Tasca are going to make further use of the M4A4 molds, hopefully a 75mm Sherman V is also in the works.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

Yip, a Mk V 75mm would be good but I'd really like to see a new M4.

Look forward to hearing more on this one.

The listing specifically says Firefly VC, meaning based on an M4A4 hull. The Hybrid Firefly would be designated IC.
