I have already built and detailed an Armourfast Sherman Firefly for my WAT! Operation Blackcock project but have been niggled by the fact that it's based on an M4A2 hull, rather than the correct M4A4 (Sherman V) version. This is only apparent in the engine deck, which I've buried in stowage, and in the length of the hull, most obviously by the distance between the VVSS suspension blocks. It's a minor bug to be sure but it stands out like a sore thumb if you are a tank geek like me.
So, as this has been bugging me, I have decided to push the Armourfast Firefly to one side and get the Plastic Soldier kit instead, which is the Sherman V model and has three tanks in the box. One of these I'll build as a Firefly to use with my Cromwells, the other will be converted into a Sherman Crab flail tank using an S and S models white metal kit, and the final one will be used eventually as a bog standard M4A4 if I ever want to make a full platoon of the things.
