Do to the fact that I screwed Howedar out of a chance with this week's ship, especially since he asked me specifically not to, here's everyone's favorite German tank of WWII in model form.(
) Sorry about it being a model, it was the best pic of the beast I could find. You know the rules.
Correct answers will recieve a PM.

Shit, that's one of the build versions of the new Tamiya tank model, isn't it?
Uh, no, that's not my guess.

Damned if I know! Looks to me kinda like a borrowed Czech or Polish model.
Thanks anyway

It's one of the first non-agricultural tanks, I know that.
Built by Krupp in '33?

Damn, I forget the name, they were a pre-Mk-III prototype and there were a limited number of them made (like maybe just four protos for field testing) and deployed to the Norway operation. The additional MG turrets proved to be pointless. The Pz-III/IV series superceded it.
Ach, but the name, the name... arrgh.

They were never used in operations, only a few of them were ever built, the 40's Norwegian campaign was a propaganda spoof.

Does it mount a diffrent gun than the PzIII ? It looks shorter than the gun on the PzIII.

It was either that, or the same profile at 100x133 pixels. I know it's a huge drawing, but it brings out the detail nicely.
