Flail Fleet

All three mine flails.

Each is a little different.

Different tank, or different version.

Active flailing and inactive flail.

Probably be great for riot control.
 

Mine Flailing

I got the mine roller drum part in a collection I purchased decades ago.

It uses wires inserted into holes in the drum to simulate the chains. 

There are little bits of glue along the wire to simulate the small balls they put on the chain to weight the chains.

I actually have two of these and they were mounted on basic bits of plastic.  So I refurbished them.

I mounted them on improved Sherman models, and added a lot of detail to the mine flail.

Then painted it.
 

Sherman Mine Flail

This is a Sherman tank with a mine flail.

It consists of a rotating drum with chains attached to it.

The drum turns and the chains beat the ground.

The beating chains explode the mine.  This tank is part Roco, the hull, and part Heiser models.  The rear deck has been partially covered to hide the incorrect engine vents that the Roco hull has on it.
