That is it. The US made the T28 to challenge the E-100. The US successfully completed two T28's while the Germans never completed the E-100. It was abandoned to work on the Maus. It was found by allied forces on the factory floor in 1945. The partially completed vehicle was removed by the British Army for evaluation and then scrapped.

Your go TOS.

Well as we just mentioned it I think this would be too easy but it's fun to realize just how big a mouse could be.

But while the maus had only a 5 man crew this monster had a much larger one. Sorry for the picture quality but it's the only one I found of it

Is that a German WW1 'K-wagen; ToS?
I'm not sure I've ever seen a photograph of one.

Aha...
I see that it is, not been to the excellent Landships site for a long while:
Landships - K-Wagen

Yes it's a K-Wagen, I had also never seen a picture of one until I came across that one.

Your turn.

Mind if I go? Or do you still want to go VP?

Sorry mate, go for it.
How about we assume that after 48 hours it's open to anyone?

Sounds good to me.

Here's one that really isn't a tank. Name the vehicle and turret (which tank it came off of).

that appears to be the Australian Rhino armored car, and to me, the turret appears to have come off of a Light Tank Mk VIII "Harry Hopkins"

The name of the vehicle is right, but the tank that the turret off of is wrong.

wow, those turrets looked so similar that i could have sworn that it was it. hmm... i had also wanted to say it was a crusader turret but it looks much too small to be one. this is going to take a bit for me to figure out if nobody else guesses the turret before me.

Turret looks like a Crusader II (Cruiser MK VI) ?

It looks like a later model South African Marmon-Harrington armored car with a copy of an A-13 turret on it, say the Mk V or VI.

Rhino Heavy Armored car and Mk. VI Crusader turret. G.P and B.S need to dual it out to see who gets to post the next tank. Or the first one of those two to post a new tank gets it.

I think history is repeating itself , look at post #500, but this time it's the 20mm armed TKS, BTW I believe your picture is "mirrored" on most pictures I saw the gun is the right side as shown here http://www.achtungpanzer.com/pol/poltk.htm .

lol, i didnt even notice that, my bad. and ya, it is a very good possibility that it was mirrored, but who knows, lol. your turn man.

Not a tank but nasty looking

heavy aroured car.jpg

You say 'nasty looking', but I think it's sweet, couldn't you just cuddle up to it .

Mannschaftstransportwagen I. Amphibious prototype knocked up by Magirus with a Rheinmettal turret (Competed against a very similar Daimler vehicle). - Germany - 1927 (A Golden age of oddballs) - 37mm gun, MG.

Again, I pass on posting another - anyone go for it.

~A

VP only you could call the Magirus sweet. BTW the amament looks like a couple of MG 08 maxims to me. That was my last "armoured reserve" in the \images\quiz directory

So can you resist prototype B ? though I want the real thing below
