    Right about the chassis, wrong about the gun.

    This is a possible evolution, same main weapon and country but local design chassis.

    Absosutely correct. AFAIK 40 modified tanks, known as Panzer I Ausf A Breda were planned but the conversions were stopped after the fourth vehicle as enough captured tanks were available to equip the nationalist units.

    This is the last one from my latest scanning session. Despite it's looks an camo it's NOT a prop from star wars.

    Neither, but a close relative of my avatar, I noticed the similarity after posting seeing the two pics cose to each other. But this tank's armour was a bit more "professional" than the discarded truck leaf springs soldered together used for the "mighty Culqualber"!

    Absolutely correct, a caterpillar 22, now all you need is find out who built the superstructure.

    Apparently the server "ate my post" so this may come out as a double ...

    The carro de combate Mercier was a built at Saragoza (Spain) by mounting a pair of Hotckiss M1914 MGs on an armoured holt/caterpillar chassis.

    I'm out of interesting AFV pictures so it's open to anyone that has a good one.

    I believe that would be the Belgian T.15 light tank.
