Hi People,

There seem to be lots of names I recognise - but not many of the trackheads
yet. Your first challenge - identify the tank in my avatar.

Regards,

Charlie

You are not alone.
I won't spoil your competition - yet.

Hey charlie! Your first guesser here,

The tank is the big metal one that shoots big bullets

I may not be a full-time track head, but I did just receive a shipment of six tanks from the Hobby Factory and I am starting on the GPM Panther. It's good to see such an armor expert arrive at this site.

Charlie, I feel funny saying welcome when I just got here myself. Glad we have a historian with us. John

My best guess, based on the size of the photo, is that it's the world's first example of nano-tank-nology :D:p

I'll take a stab, just because I ordered laser tacks for my Orlik T-40 - is it a Sherman Easy 8? I'm an airhead, not a trackhead, so be gentle with me.

Interesting - not right though - it is related to WW2 US tanks - think M3 rather than M4.

Just stumbling in the dark now...one of the Cruiser Rams?

Reasonable idea - tank based on M3 components - but wrong country.
