Recreate one of the most important Allied engineering vehicles of World War II with the Lanmo LM35003 1/35 Sherman Mk I “Crab” Mine Flail Tank, available now at AFVHobbyHub.com. The Sherman “Crab” was a specialized British modification fitted with a rotating mine‑flail system mounted at the front of the tank, designed to safely detonate enemy landmines during amphibious landings and armored advances.
Deployed extensively during the Normandy landings and Northwest Europe campaign, the Crab played a critical role in breaching minefields ahead of Allied forces. This 1/35 scale detail conversion kit accurately captures the complex flail drum, chains, mounting arms, and structural components that defined the Crab’s aggressive and highly mechanical appearance. Lanmo’s precision‑engineered parts deliver sharp detail and realistic proportions, making this set a standout centerpiece for engineering and assault‑support dioramas.
Designed for intermediate to advanced modelers, LM35003 integrates with compatible Sherman Mk I (M4) kits to create an authentic British mine‑clearing vehicle. Whether displayed as part of a D‑Day beach assault, a cleared minefield scene, or an advancing armored column, the Sherman Crab adds historical depth, visual complexity, and unmistakable character.
