Cromwell, MKIV?

Will defer to our resident tank guru for that one...




They built more of them than any other version and the gun looks right so I'd say that's probably a Mk. IV.

Correct. It was an early (and odd) attempt by the Russians to construct an armored fighting vehicle.

Your picture is small and it's kind of hard to tell any details. Is that cemetery ridge?

Trying to find a bigger one, but no - not Cemetary Ridge. Same area. Distinct shape.

I believe that's a Japanese Type 95 light tank.

I've had to switch to mobile. My laptop just crashed.

Yes it is. I would have bet a great sum of money that such a thing didn't exist.

Told ya.

but to be fair, that tank you posted was pretty common. It was one of the mainstays of the Jap armored forced, be they what they were.


Now if you want to get obscure, you should look for some of the stuff put out by Skoda in Czechoslovakia in the 30's or perhaps some of the French monsters from that time....

I remember when her Playboy pics came out not long after she hit the scene back in the 80's. She had dark hair (like in that picture) and as much hair on her arm pits as I do now.
