| This is the only set of
17pdr cannon ammunition available in our scale, and they
are truly appreciated. I don't think that the 17 pounder
anti-tank gun has yet been made available to us in our
scale, but these shells can be used for any of the
Firefly kits (available from several manufacturers), and
it is particularly useful for our M10 17pdr Achilles
kits, due to their storage in the open-top vehicle. As you can see in the scan below,
there are 12 empty shell casings, and 3 each of 3
different types of projectile. The projectile pictured on
the left below pretty obviously represents the
armor-piercing, discarding sabot round; the middle
projectile I believe is the high explosive/high capacity
round; but the projectile on the right is a little more
difficult. It looks like it may be the solid,
armor-piercing shot, but it looks just a bit too long for
that one. Regardless, considering their small size,
that's hardly of importance to any but the most
detail-oriented modelers among us. Overall length looks
very good to me, maybe just 0.5mm long, based on my
references.
