Name that Tank

tank

Try Zugcraftwagen Tank transporter.
I thought it looked similar to this.

 

It does, but only from the front. That is a SdKfz-8 halftrack.

 

I think I cracked it



It is an M20 Diamond T prime mover and an M19 Rogers trailer

Ok, a harder one now.

in the photo of the Humber Scout Car



What is the brown vehicle at the top right?

 

Beaverette or Otter.
Can't remember which is which.

 

This is the only Beverette with a turret (the Mk.III)



This is the Otter:



It looks like the same turret as the Otter, but the hull seems wrong - the top does not slope and there is no obvious door.

 

Rats!
Wrong again.
(But it was Otter I was thinking of...)

 

I was impressed - I'd never heard of the Otter, and the turret is exactly the same.

 

Solved it!

It is the Humber Light Reconnaissance Car Mk III



It is the vehicle that the Otter was based on, which is why the turret is the same.

 

Humber

These are what the KDG had in 43.

 

Your starter for '1', name that tank!

 

That's a Merlin Photoshop MkI!

 

Tank

Not Really David, it's called the 'Paintball Panzer', 60cm gun, fires 15 paintballs per second, made by ex-RAF engineer Phillip Parsons and costs...
£9,000.
Similar thing on Google.."Painball Panzer"

 

Ok, now I don't want the type of tank (I know it is a Pz. IV), I want which version it is...

 

Single baffle muzzle brake.
Drivers visor.
Ball mount M/G.
Cupola.
Glacis hatches.
Turret hatches.

All point to Ausf G.

 

mmm i do not agree with ya, beside that ball mounting looks very suspicious, not an original one, also you can see that the visor ports from the turret and the drivers are absent, those where removed in the h and j vesions

 

OK.

Let's think 'Hybrid'. It's often the case with PzKpfw IV.

The turret could be late G, early H. No vision ports. Some late G's even had the new muzzle brake it seems.

Now you mention it, that ball mount is peculiar.

We need to see the drive sprocket & idler!!!

I'll stick with late production Ausf G - Hybrid G/H.

 

that will settle this issue, but does ricky have another pic different angle?
if yes, please post it so we can confirm the variant
if no, well we can flip a coin

 

Sadly this is the best I can do. It is the Pz.IV in the Auto & Technik Museum, Sinsheim, but I can't even get a decent pic via Google.

 

Nice one Rick.

That Idler is from an Ausf H.
