Tanks and armor quiz (medium level)

Hi.

Thanks.

OK, something not too problematic, I think

Yours

tom! :wink:

Alas, my dear Mr. Tom, it seems to me that nobody was interested for the Sumida – 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.

:confused:
Oh, yes, ahm, I posted a question… :wink:

Your answer is correct.

I feared so but had to try… :smiley:

Yours

tom! :wink:

Well, in that case here it is:

Hopefully, this one will be a little bit more eye catching. :slight_smile:

I want one.

Ha ha! :smiley: I love tankettes but I haven’t a clue. But it looks something Commonwealth…

Reminds Me of the Martel “One Man Tankette” of circa 1928. I’m 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 vehicle’s ID.

Revision: given what appears to be a Schwarzlose MMG on the vehicle, I’m inclined to think it may be by Saurer of Austria, during one of that company’s brief flirtations with Carden-Lloyd - Vickers - Martel vehicles and production Licences in the period 1927 through 1936.

Regards, Uyraell.

I haven’t a clue, but now we know what they did with all of the spare parts!

Ha, isn’t that the truth. From the looks of things, the tracks could be taken off and the tankette run on it’s 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 Hungarian…

Well, well, well… After a long period of time our thread is fulfilled with some eruptive interest for armored vehicles. Excellent, my dear Gentlemen, that’s the spirit! :slight_smile:

And yes, my dear Mr. Uyrael – your second offer is almost correct. But don’t worry, here is a tiny tip for you – production of our cute little vehicle actually started in 1935. :wink:

Looks to me like the Austro-Daimler ADMK:)

Oh, welcome back my dear Mr. Sergej! I am so happy to see you here again. :smiley:
And as always, you are absolutely right: our mysterious vehicle indeed was the Austro-Daimler Motor-Karette ADMK-WARK.

And now – please proceed! Your mysteries always are an intellectual challenge for all of us. :wink:

Thank you very much my friend! After a long time it’s always nice to come back home. :smiley:
Lets continue with something maritime:

Please, honorable ladies and gentlemen, submit your offers – 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. :slight_smile:

Hi.

Looks like a clone between a US Light M24 and a japanese Type 3 amphibious Tank Ka-Chi…
I guess it´s a late war or post-war vehicle.

Yours

tom! :wink:

Hi, your guesses are right, this vehicle was produced in early 1944
and the scheduled place of action was the Pacific Theatre. :slight_smile:

I’ll take a small risk with the ID of the vehicle.
LVT3A.
I don’t 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 I’ve 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 wasnt a tank:)

The only thing I can think of now, was a thing called “Rhino”, which was allegedly based on the “Buffalo” amphitrack, and incorporated the parts I mentioned.
And yes, I’m most likely completely wrong, because I never saw a picture of “Rhino” and have no idea if it was ever actually built.

Respectful Regards, Uyraell.
