Ok whats on the front left of the tank looks like a wicker basket with the plant still in there taking camouflaging to the next level also are they going to use the chicken wire in front as well..............!!!
Seems funny to disguise everything else and leave the gun tube glaringly bare like that.

That isn't gun tube, It's a hollow tree trunk.

[RT Ellis]

The "basket" on the front of the hull is a roll of barbed wire. The "plant" is the camouflage and headlight protective frame visible inside the roll of barbed wire. As to the "hollow tree trunk" is that intended to be a joke?

Some of you need to get your glasses prescription renewed or find your glasses before you view these images.

Can't you see the giant mushrooms growing out of the dirt mound Just above the hollow tree trunk?

I take it the rifle on the back of the tank is supposed to be the M1? Looks like a 1903 rifle...but for sure there are some back behind the turret.

Yes it was a toss up in my view for a M1 Picture - Could be an 03A3 with a grenade launcher - there were some long rifles on the second tank

That doesn't matter anyway...we still look at all these in the same light. We parse them to the nth degree...consume them.

The type 3 or type 4 Duckbills on the tracks are still in good shape.
