Trying to find a Russian WWII flame tank…
Either a KV-8, or a T34 variant.
Sadly neither GHQ or CinC do one.

Any help…..much appreciated!

Don't know about the KV-8. But the battlefront T-34 flame tank option in 15mm is a small change to the machine gun. I doubt you could see the difference in 6mm.

Yes, the T34 flame tank has substituted the flame thrower for the machine gun. At that scale, not noticeable at all.

In my experience, once hit with an 88 they all flame.

In Microscale I'd think you could use a regular tank – the soviet flame tanks aren't markedly different, to the best of my knowledge. The T-34 appears to stick the fame gun out the hull machine-gun port, after all. It does looks like you'd need to add a tiny flame gun to a KV to make the KV-8.

In 6mm scale hard to tell
For OT-34 would put some smoke/flame coming out of the hull MG
For KV-*'s I would maybe replace the main gun with a 45mm sized gun and put the smoke flame next to it RHS IIRC
