Paul Heiser Sherman 105mm tank and an Artitic Sherman Vc Firefly tank.
This is the Artitec HO scale resin model of teh Sherman Vc Firefly.
It includes a small bit of photoeteched brass for the headlight guards.
I left off the PE bits as too fragile for wargame handling.
The amazing part is that there are only a few parts in this model, the turret, gun barrel, hull, and two suspension sections and two turret hatches. That's it.
It does come with a large amount of storage and I anticipate putting some on the vehicle before I prime it.
I got three of them and will parcel them out to three different companies as a heavy anti-tank support vehicle.
There is a lot of conjecture about the US Army using Firefly tanks, but there seems to be very little certainty. The best I can tell there seem to have been perhaps 80 made using a variety of Sherman tank types including the M4A3 that the Americans liked best. This one is a straight British version and I will use it as one in American service.

It's amazing how many variants of Sherman tanks (and other WWII vehicles) are available.
Yes, it seems as if not two of them are the same with nearly 50,000 different tanks. They just kept changing them all the time.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
