Dragon sure likes to make shermans !!!!

tank nut,
That has got to be the strangest thing I've seen yet. What is the history behind that tank? Thanks

[tank nut]

I wish I knew, my best bet is it is a captured british firefly in german camo and lots of extra tracks lol. Momo where the hell are you? lol we need YOUR advice on this one!!!

[ZS-VAN]

I've seen it before. I stand corrected , but believe that it was captured and that the tank tracks were added for additional protection.

Including this, Dragon have issued 3 captured Fireflies and only ONE British firefly!

Did all the Fireflies end up captured by the Germans?!

You've got to love that extra track armor. Sadly, I've got no interest in ANOTHER captured firefly. I'll buy that tank once they make an OD scheme... No Canadian Shermans yet...We'll see...

Yes, Guys, it's another 'captured' Firefly which has had extra weighting and a ' Rommel-Kist ' ( metal storage box ) added, as well as all that extra protection from the tracks. It's an appealing model, and it should fly off the Brittish shelves when it lands here next month!
Why another 'captured' Sheman Firefly? Ask the dealers. German equipment outsells Allied equipment by 10 to 1, Worldwide. In this particular sense, the Germans won the war ( if you view it as a Beauty Parade! )

I am surprised to hear that german stuff sells that much more than allied!

[PickMattock]

In all scales the German stuff does very well and has a fanatical fan base, but it’s not as if there’s no popular Allied releases, or as if there’s no German stinkers that sit on the shelves forever. The dealers also have more German stuff to sell as the companies produce much more of it, it’s no wonder they sell more of it. (How much German armor did DML release before making an Allied counterpart?) People tend to collect what's available to them. It’s just strange to me that the first vehicle of this mod would go to the Germans. Do they really think they can’t sell another Allied Firefly? That's a Firefly I would buy, this one I won't be picking up.
