Name that tank!

chassis correct, function...not so much.

another hint

 

Hey Mr. bodston, i Found this orphan on the web. It says it's a T-38 vi
Looks like it could be a model of the one you posted earlier.
check it out.

 

M4A1E5R3.

 

Marine M4A35 (different models all the same designation)
otherwise POA-CWS-H1

 

There seems to be a bit of confusion over the flamethrower models with the US Army at least. Depending on variant you have the -3-5 model or the R3 and the T33 model among others.
The vehicle shown is clearly an M4A1 or A2 as these are the cast hull variants in US use. Most likely if Marine, then an A2 The other diesel variant the A5 has a welded hull.

 

You are probably correct. I was quoting from the site where I found the picture & this one
http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwii/chemsincmbt/ch15.htm

don't know what's wrong with the link. The order/letters/numbers are perfect to the site. I bookmarked it so I can get there. ?

 

Well, seing as no one postes a tank I guess it's up to me...






Cheers...

 

'Tsar' tank of c.1914

Good page here, though if I recall there's still controversy in other quarters suggesting that the machine was never actually completed, and all known photographs are of a largely wooden model:
The Russian WW1 Lebedenko (or Tsar) Tank

 

It could have course be a late model M4 with the Hybrid Edit: Composite Cast/Welded hull. Hard to tell from that head-on shot. Though why this would have an early 3 part transmission is baffling. The combination of componants from many different sources is, I suppose, all too common in surviving vehicles. Particularly in non running examples.

 

Apart from the fact that the the TM 'Molotov' tank had 3 bogies either side, I would agree with you. The T-37 and T-38 were similar.

 

But, it has a 60 degree hull. Late cast composite hulls are 47 degree, at least all the ones I've seen have been. This would also explain the suspension as all of the tanks that got the E5 mod were early models used mainly for training in the US. The three piece transmission cover, likewise. This is why there are several of these fairly rare E5 mod vehicles floating around today (another is at the D-Day museum in New Orleans only it has the narrow 19" tracks on it so it looks really weird.

 

Sir that is a first, I thought I have seen alot...but this takes the cake.

 

If you look at Russian first prototypes in tank development you'll find loads of wierd models Ths one is by far the wierdest... They had a wierd plane too with an upper deck where people could stroll around like in a ship...



Cheers...

 

What's this then... (Bod already knows, so that would be cheating).

 

Curses!

 

S'alright mate, mentioned it on here before so shouldn't last long (You know how much I like to mention it . Still dying to see it in the Flesh).

Couple more views:

 

This little buger reminds me of something more recent... Is it Swedish by any chance?


Cheers...

 

Not Swedish (Though I can see why you might think that).

It has an 'FV' number .

 

Now this is an odd lookin' duck!

 

It sure is. A Bosnian T-55 fitted with an M-18 Hellcat turret. Oh! I just noticed that you hadn't renamed your picture. That would have saved me 10mins.
