I do believe at 1:30 the mock-up's rangefinder blisters are confused for MG blisters, which had been removed from the design by the time that model was made.

Colin Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 That Cadillac Gage turret was a popular choice, also made it onto our Grizzly APC's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Sielbeck Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 T-10 Mine Exploder, based on a highly modified Sherman. The enormous wheels would roll over and hopefully detonate mines below, while being tough enough to withstand the blast. Their size allowed the tank to be kept high-up off the ground, keeping it away from the blast. Smaller rollers at the rear trailed behind and cleared the gap left by the front wheels. This design was not accepted for service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the people standing in front of the radio tank I (at least ) can't get a good look at the driver's position, and I'm unsure of potential differences in the superstructure between the FT TSF and M1917 signal tanks. Probably a Renault since the other one is, but 50 M1917 signal tanks were constructed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick run-through of its evolution would have been enlightening to the layperson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
