I think that's the USS Hornet. She is most famous for launching the Doolittle Raid. She was sunk at the Battle of Santa Cruz.
That's a Yorktown-class, for sure, so it's either Yorktown (CV-5), Enterprise (CV-6) or Hornet (CV-8) - not sure from the model how we're supposed to tell without the number or something like ungainly B-25s on the deck.

That's why I posted it like that. Heck, I figured that would have too easy. It is the Hornet (CV8). Now, can you tell me the camo scheme?

BTW, did you know what the one posted was?
Which one are you referring to?

AB series (40-41-43) - Italian, WWII.
ETA: It's not a 40, the gun is wrong. I defer to Darth if he says, definitively AB41 over AB43.

To you both... I need to rethink my strategy a little and make things way more difficult.

I think that's a German Opel Truck. I'm guessing it's a command truck or as we called them in my time a TOC (tactical operations commnad) vehicle.

Admittadly, my knowledge of German armored cars is very limited

Dang, Darth does it again. Opel Blitz radio truck.

Whew. I knew it was an Opel. That was the main German truck of the war. But I was guessing big time on it's use. I even started to guess it was one of their mobile gas chambers.
Here, try this one....
Type / model / Country of Origin
Bonus: Have US forced faced this vehicle and if so, in what war?

The top one (which looks almost identical to the model I have at home) is a production version of the Pz. Mk V "Panther". The one on the bottom is a conceptual drawing of what would have been the "Panther II" but it was never built.

Was the concept for the "Panther II" to mount an 88mm?
