Could any of the three vehicles appear together in a diorama:

1. VC Firefly
2. Sexton
3. Achilles

I would like to depict two of the above kits together with some accuracy, or is it too far from the realm of possibility to be be depicted?

I am not a fanatic when it comes to accuracy, but I don't want to be so far out of the realm of possibility that it would seem ridiculous...

You could portray them as parked next to each other, at a museum.

Maybe somewhere at a resupply depot in France?

Something like this:



Looks like a mix of Fireflies, Shermans and other sherman based vehicles.

Yes is the short answer. By July 44 all three are operating in Normandy. Admittedly, they would be in three different units but that still doesn't make it that hard. You can have a sexton set up in a field in a firing position as either a firefly or Achilles drives by. You could also show a firefly and an Achilles on D-Day.



Cheers!
