Back in the RC2 days of Britains we picked up a bunch of these on clearance from the warehouse...I seem to remember that they were made for the British side of the pond and that they shifted some to us because they weren't selling.

We had a really hard time tracking down much info on them.

Thanks Peter Yes I agree information is almost impossible to find on this set

It is a nice looking piece though.

It's odd that so little seems to be known on this. At one time we had about 20 of them, and I seem to recall there was a similar set with different figures. I'd have to search through old e-mails (I'm not in the office today).

Hi Guys,

There were two versions of this set. One American Sherman as shown and one British Sherman with the larger gun Firefly version. I see them on ebay from time to time and they dont seem to garner much attention.
