Accurate 1/35 Sherman VC Firefly Modelling Kit

The Tamiya 25174 set recreates the British Sherman VC Firefly in 1/35 scale, capturing the proportions of the M4A4 variant used in WWII. Asuka Model components are integrated with Tamiya parts to give a high level of realism for scale modelling projects.

Historical Notes and Kit Construction

The Firefly variant was fitted with the powerful 17-pounder gun, changing the Sherman's battlefield role. Tamiya provides over 400 parts to reproduce that profile, with clear pieces for vision blocks and lamps plus photo-etched parts for fine engine and periscope detailing.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Assembly Type: Kit
  • Photo-Etched Parts: Included
  • Decals: Included
  • Dimensions: Length 223mm, Width 76mm
  • Track Parts: Belt-type, paintable and cementable

Does the kit include extra detail parts?

Yes, the kit contains Asuka Model detail pieces alongside Tamiya mouldings, plus photo-etched brass for thin components and a decals sheet for multiple marking choices.

Is this suitable for a first-time armour builder?

Builders with basic modelling experience should manage the project; some steps, like fitting photo-etched parts and tracks, are best attempted after gaining confidence with simpler kits.

How are the periscopes and grills represented?

Periscopes and lights use transparent parts, while engine grilles and periscope covers are provided as photo-etched pieces for a crisp finish once painted and weathered.

What painting approach gives a realistic finish?

Start with a primer, basecoat the main camouflage, then use washes and dry-brushing to accentuate panel lines and cast details for a credible battlefield look.
