No guesses again!? You guys are lucky I can't find the tank I really wanted to post, I don't even know what it is called. I'll let this one stew a little longer, then I'll find you something easier.

Hum....OK.. no guesses yet. We could call him Bill or George or anything but Sue. To tell you the truth, not only was this a very obscure vehicle, but as far as I know, it DOESN'T HAVE A NAME!!! The chassis of a Russian T-26, a "scratch-built" fighting compartment and a 75mm Antitank Cannon 97/38 with a French barrel. Only a few of these were made and this is the only photo of this vehicle I have seen. I'll let someone else choose the next Mystery Tank.

Looks like a Schutzlos Mittelmassig Kommode, but it's probably a different version.

German intelligence named it T-35C
76.2mm Gun L-11
(Upper Turret)
45mm Gun Mod. 1932
(Lower Turret)
it was a prototype
Production Period 1939

Alright! I got one! Thanks to Peridexion. "Simple Model Knowledge," indeed!
I just ran a search for "SMK tank" and found "Sergey Mironovich Kirov" (that's how it was spelled in the site I checked out).

So, what's next?

Hi All,

Haven't looked at this thread since the laughter from that Skanky Skink answer busted my hernia wide open. Are you guys still looking for the identification of the Grosstractor III (Krupp) heavy tank, or did I miss something in the thread ? (probably.... "Ron, you yutz.... day late, dollar short")... Wink [;)]

The cartoon half track? You guys are obviously into comics I'v never seen! LOL.

Good one J-Hulk!

The Vehicle is #6 from 'The Wacky Races' called 'The Army Surplus Special'

Driver was Meekley
Commander: Sarge

One question. If Dick Dastardly and Mutley were always ahead of everyone else when they pulled their tricks, why did they stop anyway?

looks modern, looks like a german chassie. so i consult "Jane's tank reconition guide". look like the marder 1, but the turet is diferent. ASCOD MICV, used by spain. Turret looks a little diferent but the rest is identical. maybe it is a varient, time to check sorce #2: Google. hummm i found pics that have a turret that looks a bit like the picture. i can't find a picture of the light tank with a 105mm maybe that is it?

Petbat got it on all counts!

Why did they stop? Because it's wacky!!

Any 1/35 kits of the Army Surplus Special? I have a cool little 1/72 model of it.

t34....you are close enough. It is the Spanish version of the ASCOD (Austrian Spanish Co-Operative Development) Infantry Combat Vehicle called the ‘Pizarro’ (The Austrian version is called the ‘Ulan’). Tag, your IT!
