Another large scale Sherman is on the way from Dragon that will add some “size” to Commonwealth armor.
Dragon Models has announced another 1/6 scale Sherman, this time the British Firefly. This will be the Mk.Ic Hybrid mounting the bigger punch with the 17pdr gun. This kit will include a newly molded upper hull, transmission cover, and characteristic stowage. Make room on your work bench and display shelves, this monstrous new tank should be hitting store shelves in November 2013.

75048 Sherman Mk.Ic Firefly Hybrid

Eh,I'd be wary of the hull length.Weren't these built om M4A4 hulls? The M4A3 in this scale needed much work to be close to accurate,So, I hope more images will be available.

The Firefly in the photo is a IC (built on a M4 Hybrid Hull) Fireflys used M4A4, M4, and M4 Hybrids. Interesting to see how this one comes out. Regards, Rod

Should not have a pistol port. Hollow wheels and other omissions plus lack of space in tiny house will once again keep me from spending on this series.

Yeah, it can be RC'd. If you throw a lot more money at it. I still want one even more now! Jeff

Really, it is very rare to see a High Bustle turret without one. This is a late 1c which used the HB turrets as they didn't have to add loaders hatches. A very common variant in late 44 early 45. This kit is designed for the Battle Barbie brigade and is in no way intended for the detail obsessed modeller. It is a much better choice than the M4A3 IMHO as a lot more can be done from it. Al

" Make room on your work bench and display shelves " Hah ! More like make room in your garage. These things are huge. I have never seen a shelf anywhere that would come close to holding one of these. ;^)
