Tamiya British Sherman IC Firefly (1/48)

As Britain struggled to develop tanks capable of equaling the superior

German Panzers, the decision was made to convert existing stocks of M4

Sherman tanks, delivered to the UK as part of the Lend-Lease Act. The

so-called Sherman Firefly featured a long-barreled 17 pdr. anti-tank

gun, that was much more effective than the original 75mm gun, capable

of penetrating a Tiger I's frontal armor at over 1,000 meters using

regular ammunition. The majority of Fireflies were adapted from M4A4

tanks, designated Sherman V by the British, while some were made using

the earlier M4, or Sherman I in British usage. Vehicles rearmed with a

17 pdr. gun were given the suffix C, with the resulting units being

Sherman VC and Sherman IC.
