    Judging by the relative size of the mg, it is some kind of tankette...
    Those tracks look far too thin to be real :eek:

    Doesn´t look to be very well suited for soft terrain, no.

    A member of the "Verdeja" family.
    The self-propelled 75mm artillery prototype (actually the only prototype made, the 45mm tank turret was lost in time) now sitting in the tank museum at the military base in El Goloso (near Madrid).

    This photo is from the turret, and i only found it recently, so i'm not totally sure if it was real or a model.
