Overview

This is a 1/48 scale plastic assembly kit model of the British Churchill Mk.VII 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 armour shortfalls after the Dunkirk evacuations. The Mk.VII variant was up-gunned with a 75mm gun and had improved armour up to 152mm thick. The Crocodile is one of the most notable special variants of the Churchill, featuring an 80-plus metre range flamethrower in place of the front machine gun, towing its fuel and compressed nitrogen propellant in a trailer behind.
