Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

During World War II, the United States enforced the Lend-Lease Act, which lends munitions to Allied countries, providing various supplies to the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China and other countries. That supply was a major driving force in the Allied victory. Britain, which was lagging behind in the development of land weapons, especially tanks, was loaned over 17,000 M4 Sherman tanks by the United States, and operated them from the North African Campaign onward. Meanwhile, the 17-pound gun, which was under development, was completed in 1942. The British decided to replace the M4 Sherman's 75mm gun with the powerful 17-pound gun. The turret was refurbished to provide space for the differently sized gun, and a new loader hatch was added too. The 17-pound-gun-equipped Sherman was nicknamed the Firefly, and began deployment in 1944; it was active in Europe until the end of the war, including Normandy.

This model kit from Dragon reproduces the Ic type, based on the welded-body type. The turret equipped with the long barrel of the 17-pound gun had a box shape at the rear, and the newly installed hatch for the loader is carefully reproduced. The details and textures of the upper hull are realistically expressed. The lower part of the hull is also modeled in great detail, including the VVSS suspension. The Magic Track gives your kit a highly realistic finish; parts for the duck building are 3D printed. Order yours today!
