    you're so close I think I'll give it to you. :)

    The Mannschaftstransportwagen 1 was the design specification for which this vehicle was built by Magirus, along with another in competition from Daimler Benz which never got to the turretted stage..

    So i believe this is correctly the Mannschaftstransportwagen Magirus ARW of 1930, which although discontinued led to many of the features in the later German 8-wheelers.

    Some more info;

    New Leadwarrior release: Magirus ARW/MTW 1 (Mannschaftstransportwagen)

    Your turn :)

    it's a lovely vehicle, and a real shame it didn't go further. I think I should leave that for the others though :)

    Ok it's the RK Ausf.A \ Saurer RK-9, a 1942 prototype based on a PzI chassis (also seen it called the Lj-9, but RK seems more common)

    I've been wrong before - and lots of stuff is misnamed or has several names, and I always hope to find out some detail I hadn't seen before :)

    Anyway try this unusual wagon;

    Although type 92 is basically correct (correctly Type 2592), you aren't quite there - The Hokoku-Go was a four-wheeled version on a slightly different chassis - have another try :)

    (Although to be fair the designations are not universally applied quite as consistently to the different models as would be hoped)

    You are right, I was too vague, That turret is very well camaflarged as I have just noticed it, How about the the Type 2592 Osaka Hokoku-Go armoured car

    I'll let you have it :), seeing as I don't have an absolutely 100% certain answer, but I believe the one in the picture is a Type92/2592 Naval model or a 'kokusan', rather than the Hokoku-Go, but it is often labelled as such. It definitely has 6 wheels, not 4 :)

    That's the Skoda T-3-D also known as the S-1-j prototype designed for the Yugoslavs, then taken over by the SS although nobody seems to know if it was ever used :)

    Yes thats correct, The prototype was purchased by the Waffen SS in 1938, Wether it was used is anyones guess but this was the last assault gun designed by Skoda
