Voyager Model VBS0522 WWII British Firefly 17pdr Gun (GP) 1/35 – detail-up set

The Voyager Model VBS0522 WWII British Firefly 17pdr Gun (GP) set is a specially designed detail-up component intended for 1/35 scale plastic models of the Sherman Firefly tank. This product is aimed at modelers who wish to reproduce the iconic British tank destroyer from World War II with the highest possible precision.

The Sherman Firefly combat vehicles were developed by the British in response to increasingly powerful German armor. Their main armament was the long-barreled 17-pounder (76.2 mm) gun, which was capable of destroying even the German Tigers and Panthers. Firefly tanks entered service with the British Army and Commonwealth forces from early 1944, seeing their combat debut during the Normandy landings (D-Day) and subsequently in battles across Western Europe until the end of hostilities in 1945.

This detail-up set is dedicated primarily to plastic models, enabling the replacement of the original barrel and small gun details with precision-made parts crafted from high-quality materials. The product belongs to the "detail-up sets for plastic models" category and is made from metal and resin—which ensures both durability and an exceptional level of detail. The set includes a precisely turned metal 17pdr gun barrel, as well as additional detail parts—such as mounting mechanisms and breech details—made from resin or photo-etched metal. These parts are perfectly compatible with the most popular 1/35 scale Sherman Firefly plastic kits available on the market.

• Scale: 1/35
• Material: metal (turned barrel), photo-etched metal, resin
• Intended for: British Army, Commonwealth, World War II
• Category: detail-up set for plastic models

Voyager Model VBS0522 is an excellent choice for intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to enhance their models with the highest level of historical detail while maintaining accurate proportions and technological representation of the armament. We rate the assembly difficulty at 3/5 – basic experience with handling small photo-etched and resin parts is recommended. This set will let you feel the difference between an out-of-the-box model and a unique, individually refined miniature of a historic vehicle.
