I don't know if this one has been done yet but lets giv'er a try.

 

[Jon-G]

Is that an early Canaidan GM/Ford Armoured vehicle? circa 1935?

[Edit: added the date.]

 

[andpro]

Nope not at all.

 

[BernDawg]

[BernDawg]

You got 'er Larry.  Take it away.

Cool...been hanging onto this one for awhile.
What is it and whats the chassis off of?

 

[Bane]

The chasis looks like it's from an Czechoslovakian  LT 38, I don't know the varient though

 

[larry Strong]

That's worth a 1/2 mark, not a Czechoslovakian vehicle though.

 

[Bane]

So the chasis is right...now for the hard part.


Great find , I was shocked at the age of the chasis because of the more modern look of the over all design.  The gun system on top, at a quick glance, looks like it could be at home on a stryker.  I'll pick up trying to figure the rest out tomorrow after my exam, but i'm sure someone else will nab it by then.
