Here's Tamiya's 1/48 scale M4 Sherman 1C Firefly. It's a pity they didn't offer a 1/16 version.dgsselkirk wrote:tis true... now just have to find those for reference...43rdRecceReg wrote:Only Fireflies based on the M4A4 hull (Vc) need to go to the chop shop.

That's a precedent for leaving the hull/tub undoctored- should it be needed.
I guess, the only issue with using the M4A3 as the basis for an M4 !C would be the angle of the glacis plate. Otherwise, the lower hull wouldn't need much reconfiguration.
