Amongst the first Allied units to hit the beaches on D-Day were the specialist vehicles of the 79th Armoured Division, including the Sherman Flail Tank, designed to clear the way through the beach obstacles and minefields for the landing infantry to advance.

This is the Airfix kit with some very minor modfications. Its not a very accurate model, but conveys the general idea!

Fabulous!

As I've said before, anyone that can build/paint that well in such a small scale deserves all the plaudits.

These things must have scared the beejeezus outa the grunts following, not to mention the poor driver!!!
