About product

T68 Flamethrower Tank 1:72 (UM)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American experimental flamethrower tank T68 in 1:72 scale from the manufacturer UM (Unimodel). It is a short-run model of a less usual subject, with fine parts. The set is meant to be glued together and painted.

The real subject

The T68 was an American experimental conversion into a self-propelled flamethrower from the beginning of the 1950s, built on the chassis of the Sherman tank. In place of the usual turret the vehicle received an observation cupola with a machine gun and a flamethrower weapon of its own in the front of the hull, with a large supply of flammable mixture. Only a few were built and the project remained at the experimental stage.

Building and painting tips

Assemble and finish painting the running gear and the tracks before closing the hull. Clean up the short-run parts carefully and dry-fit them before gluing. Glue the small parts with liquid cement for plastic. American olive drab will be brought out by preshading, a wash in the recesses and dust pigments on the lower areas.

Who the model is for

  • Modelers interested in American armor and its prototypes
  • Collectors of flamethrower and experimental vehicles
  • Builders in 1:72 scale looking for an unusual subject
  • More experienced modelers used to short-run kits

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
