About this 3D model

The Bolt Action “Italy : Soft Underbelly” Campaign book is chock-a-block full of new units and weapon systems. One that has sparked a lot of online chatter is Popski’s Private Army and its Flamethrower Jeep. Based on a ¼ ton willy jeep, the Flame Thrower Jeep was developed as a prototype, and there is no record of it actually seeing action. Although the rules for this unit assign it the equivalent of an infantry flamethrower - 6” range, D6 hits - , the F/T Jeep actually mounted the same flame unit as the Wasp carrier. When you see the photos, it was very much a quart stuffed into a pint bottle, full of fuel and propellent cylinders. With an “in for the penny, in for a pound” philosophy, the vehicle is all festooned with fuel jerry cans as well. I based this model off what appears to be a recreation of this unique vehicle from the Warwheels website. There are also some grainy photos of the original model when undergoing testing. For 68 points, as a veteran, it is available in several platoon lists outlined on page 105 of the Soft Underbelly book.
