Name that tank!

Tell me the name and country of it!

 

Nobody else giving it a go? ok Italian Ansaldo L6/40, final accepted prototype.

 

Nigel, its yours!

 

heres a rare one

 

Little clue - designed and prototyped during, but didn't see service during the war, however was used fairly extensively in action later.

 

Really want to say it's British/Commonwealth, but can not find anything to support it.

 

Dang it, I have a picture of it in one of my books but I can't find it to save my my life.........

tom

 

Like you I was sure I've seen it before, but can't remember where!

 

British/Commonwealth by design and manufacture, although most of it's service (if not all) wasn't.

 

Perhaps an early version or prototype of the South African Eland?

tom

 

Very very similar, but unfortunately no SA connection and no real link to the Eland. It's named after a place

 

Aha!!

Coventry Armoured Car Mk.III with 75 mm Gun!

Used by the French in the 1950's.

PHBBBBT!

tom

 

spot on your go

 

Right.

This may be a good poser:

 

I believe it's an Su-57b?

 

You believe correctly. It's also known as the GAZ-74. AKA known as the Russian Hetzer.

Yer up.

tom

 

didn't know it was a GAZ - thanks for that - here's a nice quality tank for you;

 

That looks more like a truck than a tank to me...

 

It is armoured ok little clue - it didn't get accepted for service, but the chassis it was built on did in large numbers as another vehicle.

 

well its clearly a 251 what i wanted was the model/ausf
