Gecko Models 35GM0086 Canadian Badger Flamethrower Ram Mk. II (Late Production) 1/35

Gecko Models 35GM0086 Canadian Badger Flamethrower Ram Mk. II (Late Production) 1/35 is an advanced plastic model kit, ideal for historical modeling enthusiasts. The model represents the Canadian Ram Mk. II tank in its most advanced, late version equipped with the Badger flamethrower. This vehicle is a faithful replica of the original, which was developed during World War II and used by Canada—especially the 5th Canadian Armoured Brigade—mainly during operations in the Netherlands in 1945.

The Ram Mk. II tank, used as the basis for the Badger conversion, had a unique history—produced in Canada, it was proof of the Canadian ability to independently design and manufacture armored vehicles. This vehicle featured a fully cast steel hull and specific design solutions adapted to British requirements. Although the Ram Mk. II itself did not participate in combat as a classic tank, its conversions played an important role supporting troops during fighting in Western Europe.
