Brazilian Flamethrower Armor
The armored vehicle in question was conceived a year before the revolution when the São Paulo Public Force created an Assault Vehicle Section, making it the first vehicle incorporated into the unit. This unique tracked armored vehicle was built on the chassis of a Caterpillar agricultural tractor, most likely a model from the Twenty-Two series, which was very common in Brazil during the 1930s. It was developed by Lieutenant Dr. Reynaldo Ramos de Saldanha da Gama, with the support of the Polytechnic School.

Constructed from riveted steel plates, it featured a rotating turret and was armed with a flamethrower as well as four 7mm Hotchkiss machineguns mounted around its hull. Its appearance was peculiar compared to what had been produced in other countries. It was named the "Flamethrower Armored Vehicle" (Blindado Lança-Chamas)

1:72 scale model of the Brazilian flamethrower armor. A set of STL files for you to print, assemble, and paint! Exclusive from Voxel House.
