    It actually is it, the external pair of "double tracks" were designed to be disassembled to reduce the width the vehicle and would then be bolted together for towing either by the tank or by a different vehicle.
    This is the full picture.

    Go figure. The one that I think it's not, is actually it.

    This one may be easy, but then again it may not be.

    Never seen that particular picture before but I would say the E-100.

    Both the T-28 and my E-100 picture come out of a french magazine dedicated to "panzerwaffe 1946" there are drawings for most of the E series in there whose original copyright is refered as Trucks and Tanks Magazine so you could look for that.

    There are also some drawings on the net here

    Panzer projects & prototypes. - Page 14 - WW2 in Color History Forum

    BTW that thread is an amazing collection of interesting "oddities" but I really hate the huge signatures that make the "signal to noise" ratio of that site a pain.

    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.

    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.

    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.
