Tamiya 32594 1/48 British Tank Churchill Mk.VII Crocodile

Great news for fans of British armor ¡V this compact kit includes parts to recreate either the Churchill Mk.VII

infantry tank or its fire-spewing flamethrower variant the Crocodile! The Churchill design was the result of a

chastening experience for British forces in early WWII, a more modern design that could be produced quickly

to make up for armor shortfalls after the Dunkirk evacuations. The Mk.VII variant was up-gunned with a 75mm

gun and had improved armor up to 152mm thick! The Crocodile is one of the most notable ¡§special¡¨ variants of

the Churchill. It had an 80-plus meter range flamethrower in place of the front machine gun, towing its fuel and

compressed nitrogen propellant in a trailer behind.
