Light tank Marmon-Herrington CTLS (right hand turret version) a small innefective export tank wich the US took into service. By the time production started in 41 however they were utterly obsolete and were used for training purposes IIRC. These veichles operated on pairs. The T14 and T16. The diference between the Variants was the side the turret was on. Because of the driver being next to the turret, the turret didn't cover a full 360º arc so the veichles were meant to operate on pairs.

An easy one for starters:


Cheers...

I just read tht rules and I shouldn't have posted the pic until bodston said so. It's not a C Some people believe this tank was a waste of time because their purpose was odd... for a tank.

Oh and the Panther 2 was not the same as Panther F tough both would use the same kind of Turret. I'll post a pic later tonight as I don't have my books at my university

Hey, Schmallturm was good enough for me as that's all I posted; and as neither went into proper production and final layout/chassis was debated to the very end I think 'Panther II' can cover both possibilities as unofficial nomenclature.

Now stop picking and post a tank .
(Not that I disapprove of rivet-counting... no stranger to it myself )

Cheers,
Adam.
