Product Description
Flammpanzer II (x2) (GE014)
includes two Flammpanzer II Flame-thrower tanks & one Tank Commander sprue.
The first purpose built flame-thrower equipped tank that saw service with the German Army during the Second World War was the Flammpanzer II. Built on the chassis of a Panzer II D or E, the design mounted two separately operated flame projectors on the front of each track fender.
Each nozzle was feed via individual fuel tanks containing 160 litres of fuel; enough for up to eighty two to three second bursts of flame. Secondary armament was provided by a single turret-mounted MG34.
Flammpanzer II tanks were issued to Panzerabteilung (F) 100 and Panzer Abteilung (F) 101. During Operation Barbarossa, Panzerabteilung (F) 100 was attached to 18. Panzerdivision, and Panzerabteilung (F) 101 was attachedto 7. Panzerdivision. The Flammpanzer II tanks were used as a close combat weapon working in support of infantry.
