Inhapi Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Brings the name tank back to its original meaning: it really looks like a water tank on tracks, both on the inside and outside. Maybe the hull is base on some gas tank ? Inhapi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inhapi Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 It was not even a real tank, it was a half track (if you could even call it that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Fredriksson Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Ah, it was a quiz.Now read up on it, and see the German connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inhapi Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Not really intended as a quiz, Räder-Raupen-Kampfwagen M 28 (also cover name: GFK) Armament : fully automatic 3,7 cm gun (i guess the 3,7 cm Maxim) 7.92 mm Dreyse.Built in 1928 by German engineers under the cover of Landsverk in Sweden. Since the wheel-cum track system was deemed unsuitable for the German Army, the design was transferred to Landsverk in 1929, which led to the well known Swedish wheel-cum-track tanks. (At least that is what Spielberger tells about it.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inhapi Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 7,5 cm selbstfahrlafette L40,8. Ordered in 1936 (!) as a TD. Lightly armoured on 5 ton halftrack chassis (with the engine placed at the rear). At least 6 prototypes built from 1935. Gun: 75mm L 40,8 (Vo= 685 m/s) with 360° traverse and -9 to 20° elevation. Strange that these were not taken in production. maybe they were seen as overkill as a TD at the time ? Might have been handy to have around in France and even later early in Barbarosa IMHO.

Panzermann Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 This half track came from the cavalry branch. So basically politics killed it. And well price as it was considered too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzermann Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Leo 1/72?Leo 72?Leo 72A1? Leopard 1B3M Seriously. See the size of the turret and that it has been repainted in camo. The hull looks painted weird too, In the Tankograd issue about Leo1 it says that it was an idea floated for Malaysia to recycle the NVA surplus T-72.
