The ugliest tank in WW II

Clever artwork Zable

 

if only i could claim it as my own...*sigh*

i saw it in a topic in another forum, and just had to try it

 

That's pretty good.....

 

I could not resist to post another ogo:

 

Talk about inadequately armoured!
This has to be an unfinished example, surely...

 

Is that someone wearing a bowler hat?

 

I'm affraid it is finished, even the name proves that

 

But what is it?
What can it be?

 

A WW1 prototype of the Tank Mk.1, I'd say, but I really don't know anything about it.

 

Is it a training tank of some kind?
The head-gear on the guy on top looks a bit like that odd thing the Americans wore...

 

the idea was expose a minimun surface to enemie fire,they use all kind of materal, pipe, wood, among other

 

ok guys, it was the pionner skeleton
crew 2
weight 9 tons
lenght 25'
widht 8' 5"
height 9' 6"
engine 2 X beaver 422 ci 4 cyl 100 hp each
armor .5"
that is all i could find about it

 

Well, it certainly was a skeleton...

 

one more for the road!

 

AMX-40?

 

One of the russian pre-war heavy tank series?????????

 

No it definately a French tank that came into service just after WW2 but can I remember the name? Can I hell.

 

AMX-40...
Developed from the Char B (note similar hull & tracks) actually during WW2, and built in small numbers afterwards.
However, the French used German Panthers as their main tank after WW2 (I think!), and the AMX-50 design was not used, as American tanks were available.

 

I think its a French ARL 44 and , as said, developed from the Char B. It was a prototype with a 90mm gun in a "Schneiderturret".

Ok, so I may have the designation wrong
