The M132 Self-Propelled Flamethrower was a Vietnam War-era conversion of the ubiquitous M113 armoured personnel carrier, replacing the standard cargo hatch with an M10-8 flame-gun turret capable of projecting thickened fuel out to ranges of over 150 metres. Fielded by US Army mechanised flame platoons, the M132 was used to burn out Viet Cong bunkers, tunnel complexes and dense jungle treelines where conventional small arms struggled to dislodge a dug-in enemy. Dragon's 1/35 rendition is engineered as part of its Smart Kit range, which trims parts count and simplifies assembly without sacrificing the crisp weld-seam texture and rivet detail across the M113 hull that Dragon is known for. Slide-mould technology delivers a one-piece flame-gun barrel and turret housing with authentic proportions, while detailed track links and a full set of pioneer tools and stowage let builders dress the vehicle for a jungle basecamp diorama. The kit includes decal options for a Vietnam-deployed US Army flame platoon vehicle, along with clear parts for the driver's periscopes and turret vision blocks. It's a rewarding build for modellers focused on the Vietnam War or unusual variants of the M113 family, and slots neatly alongside Dragon's other Vietnam-era armour releases on the display shelf.
