Wiki shows it as yes under weapons and equipement of the Korean war but nothing more. Nothing elso so far from google. Can anybody confirm or deny this or provide information?
Andrew
I seriously doubt it. All I have seen of Brit tanks in Korea are of their own make, Centurion for the MBT, Cromwell for recon, Chrchill AVRE for armored engineering. Canadians used some M4A3 76mm Shermans, but I have not seen any reference to Fireflies used by any Comonwealth Armored formations.
Squadron mail order has the book for you:
Progress Publishing,
‘Camouflage and Markings of the Shermans in New Zealand Service 1943-1945’ AGC1003
It may not cover the Korean war but has a Firefly on the cover, figured tank battalions closer to home would be of interest to you.[t$t]
Thanks for the tip Jason. The nice postman showed up today with my Tasca “Firefly Vc” which does sport a NZ scheme as an option already but if I go down that road more options never hurt anyone.
As for Firefly’s in Korea I think its myth and rumor I’ve spent the best part of tonight looking and other than a couple more mentions and no data (hard or otherwise) I’ll discard it as an option.

Think I have that kit!
Does the box look like this:
Bought Legend`s stowage set , the reference book is for the VC or composite hull. (Cast front & welded rear) I bought the Legend set for my 1/48 scale Sherman back in the spring and was impressed with the quality & amount of resin parts included.
No I have the Vc Version
Andrew
Yes I believe that is the kit I have, upper right corner says VC. Its the all welded hull Tasca kit.
It is the reference book that describes in detail the IC composite hull.
^^^ See the dilemma?
Plenty of documentation re: the Firefly VC abounds. What do you need?
Found some questionable information saying fireflys served in Korea. I was trying to confirm one way or other, if true I was going to build mine as such.
