Details:
This armoured trailer weighing 4.5tons and containing
400 gallons of Napalm, was connected via an articulated
connector pipe to the hull of a converted Churchill
MkVII. The trailer was jettisoned after the fuel was
exhausted, to be retrieved later by a light truck.The
two bars seen on the sides of the trailer were removed
and used for manhandling the empty trailer into position
for towing.
The Churchill
then proceeded as a normal gun tank.
A total of
800 were built and used extensively in NW Europe where
they were in constant demand and were often seconded
to give assistance to the Americans. Four Sherman M4's
were also converted to tow this trailer.
They also
saw combat in the Korean War.
Containing
seperate parts for the tank hull, including the flame
gun, adaptor plate, articulated connector, travel lock,
armoured fuel pipe, etc., it can be modelled seperately
or being towed, either a Churchill Mk.VII) or by a truck.Both
the WWII and the Korean versions can be built.
Although specifically designed for our Churchill Mk.VII
(UK93), it
can be used with other manufacturers kits and contains
an extensive illustrated illustrated parts list.
Also
available as a complete Churchill Crocodile model as
kit UK94.
