Star Decals 72-A1039 British Sherman Firefly. 75th D-Day Special. Mk Ic and Mk Vc Firefly 1/72

Star Decals 72-A1039 British Sherman Firefly 1/72 is a professional set of water-slide decals dedicated to British Sherman Firefly tank models in 1/72 scale. This product stands out with its high-quality printing, sharp detail, and faithful reproduction of historical markings used on real armored vehicles during World War II. The decals enable the creation of extremely realistic models, referencing the events of the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings (D-Day).

The set includes painting schemes and markings for Sherman Firefly Mk IC Hybrid and Mk VC Firefly, which were widely used by British armored units during the Normandy campaign in 1944. The Sherman Firefly tanks, based on the American M4 Shermans, were equipped with powerful 17-pounder anti-tank guns. They were a key element in supporting Allied units during the breakthrough of German Wehrmacht defensive lines, e.g., during the actions of the 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry, East Riding Yeomanry, 13th/18th Hussars, 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards, and 4th County of London Yeomanry.
