Curse that rear view… shakes fist
It’s crude perhaps, but effective…:mrgreen:
Heya all!
That would be the French experimental Char G1R, rolled out on 11 September 1939. Another fine example of the “too little, too late” syndrome!
Some of those French tanks are pretty damn neat and seem like they would be useful. To bad the French had to surrender early in the war ;-;
Ladies, and Gentlemen, we have a winner ! Malarz_Russ is the lucky winner. The G1R came in several iterations, and is sufficiently featureless which makes it a bit more difficult to pin down. Nicely done! PM sent.
Holy hell, I didn’t even realise it was Malarz! How’ve you been, back to attack the quiz?
Always a pleasure to have Malarz around, welcome in from the cold.
Thanx gents, for the kind greetings!
Here’s my humble offering…
What is it?
That, my friends, would be a [b]PZInż 303[/b]Polish armoured car built in 1938 and based on the Polski FIAT 118A. Although successful in tests, it never saw mass production, due to a certain invasion by a neighbouring country…
Please note that there were several prototypes - armoured, open topped and halftrack, for use as an artillery tractor. The mystery photo is of the armoured version, while the picture in the wiki is the open topped. Here is the artillery tractor version, PZInż 222.
You are CORRECT sir!
Quite a good looking series of vehicles, they were unfortunately “nipped in the bud” as WoW said.
Take it away WingsofWrath… we await your puzzler!
If a rumble seat is an available option, I’ll take one… :mrgreen:
Thanks!
So, how about this little beastie?
I am getting an “invalid link” message on this. BTW - regarding the PZInz 303 - nice one. One possible key to this was identifying the civilian vehicle from which it was derived. I must confess that Polish origin did not occur to me. Very best regards, JR.
Wings, could you reload the Link, or image Please? If that does not correct the problem, I’ll contact a Lord High Admin to try to fix the trouble.
Looks like an invalid attachment, might want to try again mate.
Edit: D’oh! Didn’t check the next page.
Sorry about that, I don’t know what happened to the attachment - here it is again:
Polish PzInz 160 ? While the project was not pursued beyond the stage of producing one prototype, the Polish 4TP light tank project influenced a number of later Polish designs. As with the individual project, not all were pursued. The PzInz 160 was a project to create a tank destroyer by casemate-mounting a 37mm Bofors gun on a new superstructure design, all mounted on a 4TP chassis. As far as I know, this never got into production, either - but a prototype or prototypes were made. Best regards, JR.
Yup, spot on, this is indeed the PzInz 160. Your turn!
That is a (or perhaps the) Tritton Trench crosser.
