TAMIYA 35100 British Churchill Crocodile 1/35

TAMIYA 35100 British Churchill Crocodile 1/35

This is a re-issue of the classic 1/35 scale model kit of the Churchill Crocodile, a flame-thrower variant of the Churchill Mk.VII infantry tank named for the famous British Prime Minister. It retained the 75mm gun of the standard Mk.VII, replacing the front machine gun with a flame-thrower, and towing a trailer containing fuel and compressed nitrogen; it had a flame throwing range of 82 meters.

Around 800 were produced during WWII, and their destructive power was particularly harnessed in support of U.S. infantry, as American forces did not have a flame-thrower tank of their own.
