What is this?

Posted by RAF120 on Friday, December 19, 2003 6:23 PM

I know it's a tank, but what kind of tank?
I found this at a National Gaurd armory near were I live. They have sort of a little museum in the back by some soccer fields.

Trevor Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

It is:

Marmon-Herrington CTMS-1TB1

They were made for the Netherlands.

Check it out on page 217 of the Hunnicutt on the Stuart.

To bad it's not my front lawn.
The next question is. Does someone make a kit of it, or is this a scratch build?
No I'm not going to attempt it any time soon. Maybe some day, how hard could it be.
