New from Forces of Valor!

We are so excited about six new models from Forces of Valor! These should be arriving this winter, so be sure and check them out! They are also in new packaging! No more ties or screws, instead they are in a double blister clamshell for easier access.

The Forces of Valor 80064 sounds like a great model, I can't wait to see it in person.


U.K. Sherman Firefly - 7th Armoured Division, Normandy, 1944
Some of it's great features include:
- Lower chassis and turret barrel are metal
- Elevating barrels
- Rotating turret
- Rolling tracks and more!

The Sherman Firefly was a World War II British variant of the American Sherman tank, fitted with the powerful British 17 pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon.  Originally conceived as a stopgap until future British tank designs came into service, the Sherman Firefly became the most common tank with the 17 pounder in World War II. It soon became highly valued as the only British tank capable of defeating the Panther and Tiger tanks it faced in Normandy at standard combat ranges.
