Name that tank!

All 3 are from the same country (and BTW same source), there is one detail on the right one that should be a dead giveaway.

 

Hello T.O.S.

do you mean the Semovente M43 105/25 Bassotto ?

Hello Kruska

Not 100% correct but close enough, it's the Semovente M43 prototype but it's still armed with the 105/20 not the 105/25 of the production model.
The one on the right with the nearly readable licence plate (I can read the initial RE anyway) is a Semovente M42 75/18 and the "missing link" is a M41 modified to act as prototype for the Carro Celere Sahariano.
Over to you.

 

Hello T.O.S,

well - I wouldn't even have known about the 105/20, thanks for some interesting info.

Allright just found out about that crazy thing:

Honest to God, they even build it

Looks like the Tsar Tank / Netopyr / Lebedenko Tank or whatever else you want to call it, crazy concept, why two huge weels and a very small one that will get stuck in the first ditch it tries to cross ?

 

Ahrrgg not even 15 minutes and takes me two hours just find the bloody picture.


Over to you T.O.S.

Kurska that "thing" you posted is so crazy it's unforgettable even if one saw it years ago, all I remembered about it is it was Russian but "google is your friend".

This is the best I can think of without going for really crazy things like Italian or Japanese AA tanks.

Is it a Panzer 38(t)?

 

Pz II D or E model, possibly the engineering variant made in tiny numbers but I can't be sure on the last just from that photo.

 

TA is close but it's not the engineering variant.
Most of this batch ended up converted as Marder II after the 1941 campaign but during Barbarossa they had a very different role.

 

Pz II Flammpanzer?

 

Yes it's the Flammpanzer II, you can recognize the flamethrower nozzles over the mudguard.

Didn't think this would last so long

Over to you

 

Since there hasn't been a post in a while, I guess I'll post one.

What could this be?

 

Looks like a German LeFH 18 105mm on top of a French Char 2Bis chassis. But if it had a Sdkfz number I can't find it.

 

B1bis tank with 10.5cm gun

 

It is the 10.5cm leFH18/3 (Sf) auf Geschutzwagen B-2(f)

 

Alright since Rocketflight hasn't been on for 3 days I pronounce myself right

How about this one

 

JaddgtigerI,

I couldn't come up with a name though I agree with you on what Rocketflight's post was and the thread is "name that tank".

Your post lokks like a german installation of a czech 47mm A/T on a French light tank (R35 or H35 never could distinguish the two) chassis. but this time I have a possible name 4.7cm PAK (t) auf Panzerjaeger Renault R35 (f).

 

Lol, I'm a busy guy. I try to get on every chance I get. And yes, it is a German LeFH 18 105mm on top of a French Char 2Bis chassis. I don't think it had a Sdkfz number.

 

Waiting for Jadgtiger's confirmation on the 4.7cm PAK (t) auf Panzerjaeger Renault R35 (f) .........
