For those interested, here's my representation of the Fort Garry Horse 17pdr Sherman "Death Takes A Holiday".

I wanted a WWII Canadian Sherman that had a bit more "pizzazz" in the vehicle markings department than you normally see on Cdn Shermans in NWE & came across the tank in the following decal guide (example #5):
https://modelsua.com/images/product/prs35004_2.jpg

Low in cost & required skill level but high in 'sh*ts & giggles factor' was what I was aiming for.

Using a stock HL Sherman, I added a 17pdr barrel, radio box, commonwealth tank commander and associated paints & decals.

Being based on an M4A3 some of the details are not quite correct for a 'true' Firefly ... all covered under the aforementioned 'sh*ts & giggles' clause  Smile

Here are some pics...
Cheers

Thanks Dougjobe!

I'm beginning to see the allure of the Sherman & why some become Shermaholics...
