This model, the 100th in Tamiya’s famed 1/35 Military Miniature Series, recreates the Churchill Crocodile. It was the only British tank in WWII which was equipped with flamethrower capabilities; the Churchill Mk. VII infantry tank was fitted with a nozzle in place of the front machine gun. An armored trailer provided fuel and compressed gas. Around 800 were manufactured during the war and found use not only with British forces but also in support of U. S. troops, which did not possess such a flamethrower tank. Includes 2 realistic figures.
