Hi.
Thanks.
OK, something not too problematic, I think

Alas, my dear Mr. Tom, it seems to me that nobody was interested for the Sumida â Wolseley Armored Car M 1928, which was based upon the Wolseley CP truck and produced under license in Japan.
Perhaps our distinguished forum members do favor some tracked vehicles⌠:-?
Hi.
Oh, yes, ahm, I posted a questionâŚ
Your answer is correct.
I feared so but had to tryâŚ
Yours
tom!
Well, in that case here it is:
Hopefully, this one will be a little bit more eye catching.
I want one.
Ha ha! I love tankettes but I havenât a clue. But it looks something CommonwealthâŚ
Reminds Me of the Martel âOne Man Tanketteâ of circa 1928. Iâm not sure more than about 12 were ever made, and the image is definitely of an early prototype rather than a production-ised vehicle. Usual Caveat applies: I might be in error in My thinking of the vehicleâs ID.
Revision: given what appears to be a Schwarzlose MMG on the vehicle, Iâm inclined to think it may be by Saurer of Austria, during one of that companyâs brief flirtations with Carden-Lloyd - Vickers - Martel vehicles and production Licences in the period 1927 through 1936.

I havenât a clue, but now we know what they did with all of the spare parts!
Ha, isnât that the truth. From the looks of things, the tracks could be taken off and the tankette run on itâs wheels, although I have no clue what the middle one is for, perhaps running on railroad tracks?
Both the Helmet and the MG seems familiar for me, a HungarianâŚ
Well, well, well⌠After a long period of time our thread is fulfilled with some eruptive interest for armored vehicles. Excellent, my dear Gentlemen, thatâs the spirit!
And yes, my dear Mr. Uyrael â your second offer is almost correct. But donât worry, here is a tiny tip for you â production of our cute little vehicle actually started in 1935.
Oh, welcome back my dear Mr. Sergej! I am so happy to see you here again.
And as always, you are absolutely right: our mysterious vehicle indeed was the Austro-Daimler Motor-Karette ADMK-WARK.
And now â please proceed! Your mysteries always are an intellectual challenge for all of us.
Thank you very much my friend! After a long time itâs always nice to come back home.
Lets continue with something maritime:

Please, honorable ladies and gentlemen, submit your offers â don"t be so inhibited! After all, our special armored guess star is only a derivative of the highly popular Ameirican family of armored vehicles.
Hi.
Looks like a clone between a US Light M24 and a japanese Type 3 amphibious Tank Ka-ChiâŚ
I guess it´s a late war or post-war vehicle.
Yours
tom!
Hi, your guesses are right, this vehicle was produced in early 1944
and the scheduled place of action was the Pacific Theatre.
Iâll take a small risk with the ID of the vehicle.
LVT3A.
I donât recall how many were produced, though I seem to recall the tracks and roadwheels of the M24 Chaffee light tank being used with the suspension of what was to become the M41 Walker Bulldog light tank.
Usual caveat applies: I admit I may be wrong in the ID Iâve given.
Regards, Uyraell.
Its not the LTV. The suspension is quite simular to the M24 but not identical. The design was based on an other famous vehicle which actually wasn
t a tank:)
The only thing I can think of now, was a thing called âRhinoâ, which was allegedly based on the âBuffaloâ amphitrack, and incorporated the parts I mentioned.
And yes, Iâm most likely completely wrong, because I never saw a picture of âRhinoâ and have no idea if it was ever actually built.
Respectful Regards, Uyraell.
