Master GM-35-051 Sherman VC Firefly - Ordnance QF 17pdr (76.2mm) gun barrel (for RFM and Tasca kit) 1/35

The presented product is a high-quality replacement set, Master GM-35-051, dedicated to 1/35 scale Sherman VC Firefly models, compatible with kits from RFM and Tasca brands. The key component of this set is a precisely turned aluminum barrel and a finely detailed 3D-printed muzzle brake, ensuring outstanding detail fidelity and exceptional durability.

The Sherman VC Firefly model, equipped with the powerful British Ordnance QF 17-pounder (76.2 mm caliber) gun, was the Allies’ answer to the German Tiger and Panther tanks, widely used by the British Army and Commonwealth countries during the Normandy landings and operations on the Western Front in World War II, from 1944 until the end of the conflict. This type of tank played a significant role in breaching German fortifications and was highly valued for its anti-tank firepower, especially during operations such as the Battle of Caen or Operation Goodwood.

The Master GM-35-051 set is designed for plastic model kits, easily installed in place of the original kit barrel. The aluminum barrel provides the highest level of realism and resistance to deformation, while the 3D-printed muzzle brake impresses with a level of precision unattainable with plastic parts.
