1/48 British Tank Churchill Mk.VII Crocodile
Great news for fans of British armor – 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.
