The kit shows a Sherman Firefly undergoing treatment at the paint shop! The Firefly, a British adaptation of the Sherman that mounted a 17pdr gun, was the only British tank in WWII that could hope for some kind of parity with heavier German tanks. However, when it came to mechanical reliability and industrial capacity, the Allies were more than a match for the Third Reich. As the war wore on and Germany’s industrial might could no longer keep pace in terms of tank production, captured Russian and Allied tanks were sometimes put into German service as a matter of desperation or expediency. This kit is a Firefly Vc and includes a scale German figure brushing new markings onto the captured tank, the tank has had a series of white crosses, plus 'G' and 'W' painted on as an early form of identification Friend or Foe!
