nope - not a spit.... but you are getting the right idea

BTW.... a spit would look like this :

The wheel screams "SPITFIRE" to me....is it a captured Spit in German markings?

Spit's wheels retract outwards, those look like they retract inwards.  Tail's the wrong shape, and I don't think there were any spits with both a 3-bladed propeller and a bubble canopy, and none of the bubble canopies had that much framing.

My guess is that it's a Yak-3 or Yak-9, although that cockpit door is throwing me off.  I've only seen pictures of the Yaks with sliding canopies.

Very good, it is Littlefields, talking to the people there, it failed the tests as it shed it's tracks on hard stopping. That could have been fixed, the armour is quite tin canish, but supposed to be  a base for a modular system. Here is an inside shot. It's roomy for a AFV

a cute tank drawing by a talented 10 year old? Either that or one of the XM designs, which translates pretty much to the same thing.

Going by the track configuration, the only other people that I can think of  who used similar were the Germans and the French.

German? if so off shoot of the Spaeh Pz 1966 light recce tank program?

French?

 

[ironduke57]

No, no and no.
