Good call. Spain was on my list. I was searching Med area countries due to the style of buildings. Whats next.........

Spanish Civil War 1936-39

Spanish Nationalist "tanque de juguete" (toy tank).

Not quite as good a call as thought.  While it is a locally manufactured AFV from the Spanish Civil War, it is not "Nationalist" but rather "Republican".  It is also not the vehicle to which the sobriquet "toy tank" was attached. The "tanque de juguete" was the "Carro ligero de infanteria M-36" (or Carro Ligero Euzkadi - Basque Light Tank).  The vehicle pictured is the "Carro Sadurni de Noya" a Catalonian built vehicle.

Blackadder is right, shitty deal tho with this tank as half the sources list it as what grunt said and the other half list what Blackadder has

 

[Blackadder1916]

This one should be very easy.

"Trubia Infantry Light Truck - Model 1936 Naval also called Landes, Euzkadi or Tank Truck Toy"

Japanese flame thrower tank. My guess was based on the suspension which similar to the Vickers, the italians used a version but the drive wheel is at the other end, so I looked under Vickers, Russian and up popped this page

Never seen it before, sorry to have spoiled an otherwise good try at baffling us.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Yup, Jap flame thrower tank.http://www.lonesentry.com/articles/jp_fttank/index.html

No sweat. Go.

Won't be hard for some, best I could do in a hurry

 

[CEEBEE501]

Sherman turret?

 

[larry Strong]

But which Mk?

 

[CEEBEE501]

M4A1 76(W) looks like the closest

The rear bulge-ish shape screams "FIREFLY" to me, but what do I know?

 

[Steve1987]

Okay, I'm gonna give my first shot at this!

It can't be a Sherman.  If it was, the image would have been reversed, the Sherman commanders cupola is always on the other side of the turret.

Based on that cupola position, and what's left of it, that leaves the Ram and a couple others...

The shape looks like it could be Ram ish.  But what's welded on the side of the turret gives it away...

My guess, early production Ram Mk. II

Excellent Job Steve it is a Ram turret, can't recall the mark and I have the full photo on my work computer, had the crop the telltale mantle plate from the pic.

 

[Steve1987]

Cool. I'll guess I'll keep things going then.

Any takers?
