Splash oddball Sherman’s ****1 x finished 1 x DNF *****

Post by splash »

I might get time next weekend to have another go at a blitz, so I’m thinking of a simple conversion and make a tulip with a punch. :-D

Yes it’s a simple Firefly Tulip conversation, you just have to love the concept of fitting a/c rockets on the side of a tank.

The Firefly Tulip was originally a Canadian idea to up arm armoured cars by adding RP’s (Rocket Projectiles) this idea eventually finished up as adding 60lb 3inch RP’s as used on a/c to the turrets of Sherman tanks and later Cromwell tanks, the idea was not as anti tank as the RP’s were not very accurate in this role but to lay down heavy firepower if ambushed by troops.

The kits are quick build so I thought I would try two at a time.
