M4 Composite Hull Flame Tank

This represents one of the Shermans that was modified as a flame throwing tank, used in the Pacific theater. The composite hull is a kitbash of the Italeri and Tamiya. The front hull is Italeri and the rest is mostly Tamiya with modifications, including the high-bustle/cheek bulge turret. The flame thrower on the back is from Tamiya, and Eduard PE was also used.

The booty on board is a case of Japanese beer. The label was reduced from a vintage poster. The tank was finished with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with drybrushing and washes. The mud is a mixture of MIG powder and liquid cement.
