Tamiya Firefly


Panzer Vor!!!

Recommended Posts

Hi

Looking at the Tamiya kit of the Sherman Firefly if you look at the front there are two angle iron bar (??)  sticking out either side

Rising up from behind the front fender and then bend outwards

Any idea what they are ??

Hi

Not on that model

They would be just above the 52  sign and  badge on other side   rising up  then angling outwards but not extending past the vehicles sides

Never seen them before on pics or descriptions of the tank

For those interested here is a pic of the Firefly model with the "houseboat" disguise brackets.

& here is a A15 Crusader with the disguise fitted.

Only very early Fireflys had these brackets but they were never used, so they were soon removed.

Just noticed something spooky. Are they quintuplets, or did the British have the ability to clone back then?
