1/35 Firefly IC Hybrid Hull

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

A re-release of Dragon’s much sought-after Firefly IC Hybrid Hull Sherman, a kit that’s been out of production for quite some time. The term “hybrid hull” refers to the fact that the front section of the ballistically superior cast hull was mated to the rear section of the easier to produce welded hull, resulting in ostensibly the best of both worlds. The British then added their potent 17-pounder high-velocity gun and voila, Firefly IC Hybrid! From the time of the Normandy landing, this type grew in numbers in the British ranks.

Not exactly a straight re-release of their old kit, this new release includes suspension parts from Dragon’s latest Sherman releases plus Cartograf decals for Canadian, Polish, and British Fireflies. Tracks are injection-molded individual link.
