Tim,

Great buy! It certainly did not take you long to find one after developing an interest in them last September.

As for research, by now I think the Firefly is the best researched Sherman variant. Therefore I only have little information published on my website (the goal of which is to only publish information which is not covered in mainstream books and magazines): http://web.inter.nl.net/users/spoels...04/firefly.htm

The Sherman Firefly by Mark Hayward is a must read. By the time you have finished that, please come back with your remaining questions
