Round seven of Name That Vehicle, (Texas especially)

Christie suspension? Vas is los? Looks like T-34 running gear,

T55

with a Tiger turret,

Built around a Saladin turret.

but that wouldn't be proportional.

In fact it is only 20mm too narrow in width to be exactly Tiger size.

This is a tank that has been cobbled together, probably for a movie or something.

Especially for "Sam's Circus" I believe and only shown in the US. Hardly cobbled too, pretty good I'd say although the road wheel arrangement cannot ever be replicated without being real and therefore prohibitive.

Just to keep things fair, we should try to stick to vehicles that have actually existed in a country's arsenal.

I didn't know the T55 wasn't in the USSR arsenal.

And what of the original commander and its loss? Be assured the markings are dead accurate.

As for the armoured car, I was certain it was a Leichter PanzerSpahWagen, but as we all know, I've been wrong before. Let me do a little further research and I'll get back to you.

Also in a country's arsenal and you should look behind Richard F's excellent humour. . . . . . . . . . .
