Are the instructions also in English or are they only in German

Hi - the instructions are in English, French, German and Japanese. They are heavily illustrated with diagrams, which makes them relatively easy to follow.

Are the tracks one piece or are they individual like the Meng kit which has hundreds of parts just for the tracks.

Hi, The tracks are the newer one piece type from Tamiya that you can glue together rather than joining with heated screw driver. 1/ The kit goes together quite easily with no fit issues. Unlike the Asuka model of the Easy Eight that got rebranded under Tamiya that came out about the same time which had hundreds of parts for everything. 2/ Unlike the old Tamiya Sherman kits, this kit provides the parts to seal off the sponson gap when you attach lower and upperhull. 3/ No internal detail is provided. So not even a simplified gun breech. 4/ Decals are a decent quality but as this is an ETO version very plain & simple. 5/ Fun build and not complicated that still gives you a decent ETO version of the Easy Eight. Hope this helps

Answer can be found in product information, but it is the largest size you can get making it easier to assemble.

Is this the same as the British firefly?

The outward appearance is very similar but the British version had a 17lb gun and the American version has a long barrelled 76mm
