The Churchill Crocodile Tank was a British flame-throwing tank of late World War II.It was introduced as one of the specialized armored vehicles developed under Major-General Percy Hobart and known as one of "Hobart's Funnies". It was produced from October 1943, just in time for the Normandy invasion though no units saw action on the first day. Eight hundred were produced by conversion of existing tanks. The conversion kit consisted of the trailer, an armoured pipe fitted along the underside of the tank, and the projector, which replaced the hull mounted Besa machine gun. The Crocodile was therefore still able to function as a gun tank with its turret mounted Ordnance QF 75 mm-gun. I love this model. I think it is my favorite tank! I have mud on it too! I put on all the decals and put the Ordnance QF 75 mm-gun on it which was one of my favorite pieces! Tell me what you think of it! Sorry, the pictures were taken at 7:00 pm.
