Misprinted Dragon Armor Sherman Firefly

[paulmerton]

Anyone else seen a Dragon Armor 60259 captured Firefly like this? They forgot to print the white "W2" on both sides of the radio bustle.

Does that make it super-rare and valuable, or does it just make it worth less?

.......... not sure but I'd hang on to it anyways.

* Not being impolite but what would the "W2" stand for ??? ... + is it that significant ?

I have no idea! Would be interested to know what the W and G also mean. I gather they are markings that were painted on it after being captured by the Germans.

I did a google image search, but can't find any photos of this model without "W2" printed on the bustle. Could be one of a kind...

I prefer UK markings, so I painted over all the German beute markings on mine.

Are you sure? All of the other ones in my collection have a W2 on the bustle, as do all of the photos of this model I can find on the web.
