By all means this is a nice place to post them. Another possibility would be the photo section in the militaria part.

 

I was thinking to Post it First in the photograh and documents sections but now its here..hehe..if needed an admin or mod could Put it in the right section of the board

 

Interesting picture - the 'tank' looks to be a Sturmgeschutz III Ausf. F produced from March 1942 onwards.

 

Yeah,im pretty sure it is one

 

Beat me to it Martin!

 

Why an F rather than an F/8 or a G ? The superstructure looks narrow but the muzzle brake is covered so I would not bet on L43 rather than an L48

 

Old Tank pics are always so interesting...I have to Check what else i got

 

It could be an F/8 but that, to me...is still an 'F'. I rather discounted it being a 'G' as, despite looking under magnification, I couldn't see the extended towing horns at the front ( although I agree the photo isn't perfect ).

 

If needed,i could try to make the Tank bigger in my PC to get more details

 

I would discount the G as well because the two spare road wheels makes me think a narrower superstructure.
