1:72 Scale Metal Diecast ? M4 Sherman Firefly - Length: 4.25" (from end of vehicle to tip of the main gun) Width: 1.5? This is a plastic model. It is already assembled and painted. The turret can rotate all 360 degrees, but the gun's elevation can not be changed. The coloring and markings are accurate and realistic. The maker of the model did a good job with the model, the panel lines and details are very clear and crisp. These models have different details engraved such as doors, hatches, panels, lights, ports, antennas, machine guns, ropes, shovels, etc; all of these done with high accuracy and proportion. When they are painted in different color, say for example, shovels and ropes, they are indeed painted accurately. This is not a toy. Recommended for 15 and up. The Sherman Firefly was a medium tank used by the United Kingdom and some armoured formations of other Allies in the Second World War. It was based on the US M4 Sherman but was fitted with the more powerful British 76.2 mm (3.00 in) calibre 17-pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon. Conceived as a stopgap until future British tank designs came into service, the Sherman Firefly became the most common vehicle mounting the 17-pounder in the war.
