Meh, another Firefly IC, I'm with the 250 on this one, at least that version hasn't been done 4 times before.

Outside of the Dragon kit that's been reboxed a few times, I can't think of another Firefly Ic in 1/35 scale, and apparently neither can google...

Yeah I think Dragon are the only ones to do it. However considering Tamiya have released a firefly in 1:48 and recently released a 1:35 Israeli Super Sherman maybe it's on the cards......

Have to go with Doogs too. Love the FIrefly - what's not to love about a Sherman with a bigger gun!

Blitz - isn't the Super Sherman a full cast-hull? I thought so, as I'd been eying one to use for an M4A1E8 HVSS conversion. The Ic was a hybrid of cast and welded, so it'd take at a minimum a new upper hull. And still...Tasca's Shermans are just extremely well done. Personally the Firefly Ic is my favorite of the VVSS Sherman variants, hence my excitement.

Doogs: Super Sherman is cast hull but I'm sorta hoping that they would do it like the Stug IIIb and release it in 1:48 first and then 1:35. The Super Sherman just so happened to be a recent release and was hoping that they would go on a Sherman roll.

The only Sherman in 1/35 injection plastic  that would get me excited is a DD. The companies can go back and cover all the stuff that has been done and it wont get me buying anything. But when they mold kits that have not been touched in mainstream 1/35 injection molded, I will see what I can afford. Trumpeter/Hobby Boss is really the only company doing that lately.
