Is that a Stuart?

[browningautorifle]

I would say so...

[Bill Hollinger]

What a high profile they have. No hiding that amour!

[browningautorifle]

amour

Pardon? I thought we were talking tanks...

[Bill Hollinger]

He He He!!! I guess you're right. There really isn't any armor in amour or a Stewart!

[browningautorifle]

I do find it interesting that there were still some of these older pattern tanks around at that point...(all funin' aside)

An M3A3 Turret ( or M5A1) with those hatch's.

Rear deck looks a mite high for a M3 , I'd guess a M5 .
These were still effective against the small Jap tanks even till the war's end. They never fielded a bazooka type weapon .

I'd guess a M5 .

So, with no natural enemies, this small varmint class animal could live long and be useful.
