Description:

Canadian flame-thrower RAM II badger by Gaso.line on Tamiya basis.
Model by Costa Tito - Chili
The answer to a Canadian Armoured Corps request, was the Ram tank whose prototype was rolled-out by the Montreal Locomotion Works in June 1941. This Canadian built vehicle used the chassis of the US M3 Grant tank onto which was integrated a modified casted steel hull top that accommodated a locally designed turret that could rotate 360°. As of late 1941 until July 1943: 50 Ram I and 1,899 Ram II have been manufactured. The improvements of the Ram II were a simplified hull design by removing some hatches, an improved suspension, a more reliable clutch, and above all a greater firepower: a 6-pound gun. The ammo load was: 92 6-pound shells and 4,000 rounds for the three cal. .30 machine-guns. The flame-thrower version of the late production Ram II was dubbed "Badger". The Ronson flame-thrower came from the Wasp vehicles. This weapon simply replaced the hull mounted machine-gun and was fed by four tanks housed in the tank. The turret opening was sealed by a slab of armour plating fitted with a small-sized MG turret.
