    Did we both go to the same site? lol. If it wasn't for it's top heaviness, I think it would do great in battle.

    Your turn.

    Very, very close - but that would have been too easy! Try again.

    I'm afraid I can't find a reference to a tank called "SIj-T3D" on the Web. Can you provide a link?

    In any case, your first guess was VERY, VERY close. This was a tank that was accepted by the army, though only 50 units were produced - unlike the more popular 35 and 38.

    That's and abbreviation of it. It's called T-3d (Skoda S-I-J) Assult Gun.

    It's not an assault gun, it's a tank. Closely related to the 35 and 38. Just change the number .....

    The czech tanks are a mess to identify, not only were the designs produced a bit all over Europe but a number of very similar variants of the two basic designs existed

    Lt zv 34

    The only other thing that comes close to it is the PzKpfw 38.

    Tired Old Soldier is correct. This was a design that preceded the Lahky Tank LT vz. 35 by one year, and saw limited production - but it was accepted into the Czech Army before it was replaced by the later 35 and 38 models.

    You could also say this is close but what is it exactly?

    I had noted the name but left it as "praga" alone would not be an acceptable answer.

    I admit I was lazy, I'm out of good pictures.
    I believe the official name is Panzerwagen Pzw.39 (sounds German but so does the language spoken some areas of Switzerland) but it essentially is a "Swiss praga".

    Over to you but don't pick something from "that site" too.

    The first one is a dummy tank, I think. I don't know what is special about the second one, though the tracks look different from the standard Sherman ones.
