    "Be careful what you wish for." I have all three volumes of the Aberdeen Tank Data Series on disk.

    Anybody ready for a near impossible one? :trumpetplayer:

    A Carden Loyd Patrol car Mk VI on loan to the Danes who called it FP-4. It's right there written on the front. I thought that only I posted pictures of tanks with the name written on!

    Looks like one of the Yugoslavian late-war conversions of Stuarts with German guns. Don't think they had an 'official' designation.

    Cheers,

    Yup, an M3 with a 75mm Pak 50 gun. I think it is an attractive conversion.

    I'd jump at it and say it's a Sexton, but devious as you are then it can't be one for sure :D

    Side door?

    I believe it is.
    A "Marriage" of the reliable and well built Canadian "Ram" tank,(side door) mated to the 25 lb(er). Used until the 50's, until spare parts became but a dream.
    As you say...it may be some "prototype" pre-model, but it looks like the pictures I have, minus the happy faces of it's riders. It was well a liked AFV/GMC.
    Sexton

    Ah ha, so you are beginning to recognise my style!
    It can't be a Sexton because that would be too obvious. Quite correct Za.
    Skunk, as the Sexton was the original marriage between the Ram and the 25pdr. Then also no.

    Not a 'pre' anything, in fact more of a colonial 'post' job...
