The Sherman Firefly


The Sherman Firefly is a British variant of the Sherman mounting the deadly 17-pounder in a modified turret with a overhang to accommodate the size of the weapon. The Firefly variant was the most lethal of Shermans, having the ability to fight German Panthers and Tigers Is.

Note the welded hull and cast turret.
