Personal DIY A-43 "Black Prince" Crocodile

The A43 Black Prince is an experimental infantry tank developed by Britain in the late World War II, derived from the Churchill Mk VII. To mount the QF 17‑pounder anti‑tank gun, its hull was widened, turret enlarged, and suspension and tracks reinforced. It had a combat weight of 51 tonnes, with a maximum frontal armour thickness of 152 mm.

It retained the Churchill’s 350‑horsepower engine. The increased weight resulted in poor mobility, with a maximum road speed of only 17 km/h. Six prototypes were completed in May 1945, by which time the European war had ended, so they never saw combat. With the arrival of the Centurion tank, the project was cancelled outright. The sole surviving intact prototype is preserved at the Bovington Tank Museum.

DIY Description: Modified on the chassis of the A43 Black Prince, retaining the 17‑pounder main gun. A Crocodile‑type flamethrower was fitted to the hull, and an American‑built M2HB heavy machine gun was mounted on the roof. Served as an assault test vehicle for the 79th Armoured Division; it never entered mass production.

Since no canvas‑style parts were available, extra track plates were added to create a heavy‑armoured look.
Speed and ballistic performance of the shells were reproduced as faithfully as possible.
Only the vehicle weight is hard to replicate at the real‑world 51 tonnes.
I could not figure out how to improve the default paint scheme, so please add your own decorations via paint and decal options.

In order to restore the situation in history where the production of Mk1 shell piercing shells was not high, the maximum capacity of this shell that could penetrate the front of the Tiger King was limited to 15 rounds.
