    Here's a tank you don't hear to much about.
    Good Luck.

    Looks like a bad drawing of New Zealand Bob Semple tank.
    And BTW, you should wait until previous question is answered, (ot at least when there is no new posts for a while)

    @ Vatha,
    It might not be a great rendition of the Bob Semple, ;) but it's not such a bad drawing. :) You figured it out.

    @ Artema,
    Don't worry about jumping ahead of the game a bit. It's no big deal.

    Now if you can guess my latest tank, it will be your turn to post another of your choice. :)

    Slomo, your tank is MTLS - IGI4, aka Dutch four man tank.

    And since Artema seems to have more inspiration than me, I will leave next question to him.

    Congratulations, your designation of the tank is right, it's the Marmon-Herrington MTLS-IG14.

    Here's a little more info.
    "During the period from 1935 to 1941, the firm Marmon-Herrington built a series of tanks for export, some of them being produced by the US Army and Marine Corps. These vehicles ranged from light turretless two-man tanks that were based on commercial components produced by the firm, to three- and four-man tanks of the more conventional design.

    A bit more about the MTLS-IG14 itself:
    "Originally ordered for the Dutch East Indies and known as the Dutch Four-Man Tank, this was the largest of the tanks built by Marmon-Herrington. Though the hull design was similar to that of the CTMS-ITB1, it was longer and deeper and was fitted with wider tracks. The two-man turret was equipped with twin 37mm guns, with a .30cal machine.gun mounted on the right side of the turret plate. In addition a AA machine-gun socket mount was provided at the rear of the turret and ball mounts on the hull front. Crew 4; 2 37mm guns; 2 to 4 MG; armour 1/2 - 1in; engine Hercules 6-cylinder 240hp, liquid cooled; 26mph; 16ft 1in x 8ft 8 1/2in x 9ft 2 1/4in."

    Good job Vathra.
    I guess then it is over to you Artema. Your go.

    Yes, it is (badly beaten) Wespe.
    There is no muzzle break, shield for gun, and entire back of the vehicle.

    I will put another photo in the evening, so if anyone is quicker...

    I see are at least two "odd ones" a Matilda and what looks like an Italian M series "medium". Most of the others have either German or Hungarian origin but I can't identify them all.

    Yes, you are right!

    On this photo we can see:
    - Hungarian Turan I and Turan II tanks, Zrinyi SPG
    - German Pz III, Grille and Hummel SPGs
    - Italian M15/42
    - British Matilda Mk II

    And last two are "odd" ones, actually Trophy weapons.

    Your turn, TOS!

    The 2 numbered vehicles (153/154) might be 43M Zrinyi II SPG.

    Nevermind :) guess you must have been posting when I first checked and was looking the picture over. I should have refreshed the page before posting. :)

    Can't post anything until late tonight +1 GMT so if anyone has a good one go ahead !Will be back home this week end and finally have access to my books again until then I can only pick pictures from the net anyway.

    BTW I had identified most of the others but how do you distinguish a Hummel from a Nashorn when all that's left is that :confused:

    If you mean wreck on the left, in front of Matilda, I don't know what it is.
    But there is one Hummel behind Grille, gun is definitely 15cm.
