I've got an idea for a summer group build about flame throwers, flame tanks, flammpanzers, etc. called Burn Baby Burn (B3).

It could be a soldier with a flame thrower in a scene from a WW1 trench warfare scene or a WW2 Pacific Island scene.

Any type of flame throwing tank or vehicle like the DML M4A3 POA-CWS-H5 105mm howitzer Sherman, the M113-based M132 "Zippo" (thinking Academy M113A1 which contains the turret), or the Ironside M48-based M67 flame tank.

Or anyone of the numerous flame thrower panzers on the market.

Any takers? I'm thinking a June-July start date.

Correct, that's a flame thrower variant. Sounds like there is some interest in this one after all. I've always been fascinated with the flame thrower vehicles.

Maybe a Wasp (flamethrower on brencarrier) or a Frog (flamethrowing mathilda tank, used by Australian forces in the far east) could be an idea?

Hmmm, got an OT-28, a Panzer I flamethower, and a Crocodile in the stash... surely that's a sign of something or other... Flame On!
