USMC M4A3 Sherman Flame Tank (1:72 Scale)

Model History and Information: The POA-CWS-H5 was a flame tank built on the Sherman by the Chemical Warfare Service in the Pacific, keeping the turret howitzer and adding a flame gun alongside it in the mantlet, so the vehicle lost none of its ordinary firepower. When the Korean War began the Marine Corps assembled nine of them from the stock left over from the Second World War, forming a platoon known as the Flame Dragons attached to the 1st Tank Battalion. They landed at Inchon in September 1950 and were the only American mechanised flame unit in the theatre, used to clear bunkers and caves ahead of the infantry.
