I am building a what if U.S. Sherman Firefly Tamiya Jumbo Sherman as the base I added the Jordi Rubio 17lbr barrel I will be adding the old MP Models E8 suspension Tracks will probably be the T66 rubber band tracks from AFV Club I will be adding just applique armor on the glacis plate Here a pic of the turret


Yeah,I know the load is late.But the voices keep telling me to pull over and clean the guns.

Chad san,

Looking good!  From what I read about the Firefly there was interst in acquiring the type to equip our units but the production capacity in the UK at the time could not support the increased production demands.  

If they had taken the technology and applied it on the M4 assembly lines here in the states I am sure there would have been no issues regarding production capacity and the Firefly could have been seen in greater numbers on the battlefields.
