Anyscale Models - RAM Kangaroos

Work has progressed in recent days after sitting on a back burner for almost 7 weeks. Fenders were added and the body adjusted slightly to accommodate the add-on. The paint job was complete and the infantry were painted as my intended first entry into the  Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge XIII. Due to circumstances they became the third entry.


According to Wikipedia, the Ram was a cruiser tank designed and built by Canada in the Second World War, based on the U.S. M3 Medium tank chassis. Due to standardization on the American Sherman tank for frontline units, it was used exclusively for training purposes and was never used in combat as a gun tank. The chassis was used for several other combat roles however, such as a flamethrower tank, observation post, and armoured personnel carrier.

BONUS - The RAM Badger

The Bager was a flamethrower equipped tank. The first Badgers were Ram Kangaroos with the Wasp II flamethrowing equipment (as used on the Universal Carrier) installed in place of the bow MG. Later models were turreted Rams with the equipment in place of the main gun.
