Voortbordurend op het succes van zijn reeks van 1/35 schaalkits van de beroemde M48 Patton mediumtank, heeft Dragon de interessante M67-vlammenwerper geproduceerd die door het Amerikaanse leger werd gebruikt.
Bijgenaamd de “Zippo”, het was oorspronkelijk gebaseerd op een M48A1-tankromp, met het gebruikelijke 90mm-pistool vervangen door een M6-vlampistool verbonden met een M7A1-6-brandstof- en drukeenheid.
De M67 van 48 ton was enigszins vermomd met zijn vlamgeweer verborgen in een dummy pistoolbuis.
De eerste M67 werd voltooid in 1955 en een totaal van 109 eenheden werden vervaardigd voor US Marine Corps en US Army service.
Ze werden tot 1974 afgevlagd, wat betekende dat ze gevechten in Vietnam zagen.
Deze schaal 1/35 schaal erft uitstekende eigenschappen van Dragon’s voorgaande M48-serie modellen, maar het is aangepast om een M67 vlammenwerper te vertegenwoordigen.
Dit omvat gloednieuwe componenten zoals het kanonschild, dummy geweerloop en mondingsrem.
Ook nieuw is de vlamprojector in de mondingsrem.
De afdekking van de mantel wordt door DS gerepresenteerd om het correcte uiterlijk van het materiaal te reproduceren.
Er worden nog andere passende wijzigingen aangebracht – zo werden bijvoorbeeld de afschermingen van de koplampborstel gewijzigd om de lagere inkepingshoek van het vlamgeweer vrij te maken.
Dit is een prachtige set van de M67, en het wordt verwacht dat het gloeiend heet is met modelers over de hele wereld!
Building further on the success of its line-up of 1/35 scale kits of the famous M48 Patton medium tank, Dragon has produced the interesting M67 flamethrower used by the US military. Nicknamed the “Zippo”, it was originally based on an M48A1 tank hull, with the usual 90mm gun replaced with an M6 flame gun connected to an M7A1-6 fuel and pressure unit. The 48-ton M67 was disguised somewhat with its flame gun hidden inside a dummy gun tube. The first M67 was completed in 1955 and a total of 109 units were manufactured for US Marine Corps and US Army service. They were fielded until 1974, which meant they saw combat in Vietnam. This 1/35 scale kit inherits excellent features of Dragon’s preceding M48-series models, but it has been modified to represent an M67 Flamethrower Tank. This includes brand new components such as the gun shield, dummy gun barrel and muzzle brake. Also new is the flame projector inside the muzzle brake. The mantlet cover is represented by DS to replicate the correct look of the material. Other appropriate changes are made – for example, the headlight brush guards were altered to clear the flame gun’s lower depression angle. This is a magnificent kit of the M67, and it’s expected to be red hot with modelers all over the world!
