Hmm…it’s either obvious, or it’s TOO obvious and I missed it!

I take the latter. [}:)]

Dang! OK…hang on a sec…

Okay, after careful consideration and close study, I posted my answer. We’ll see what happens…

what’s wrong Duke??? is this the first one you’ve done research on??? [;)]

Actually, no. I just looked real hard at the larger pic and took notice of certain little details that I have seen on models I have built, and in pics I have studied before while building the models. I didn’t go searching for anything.

Was I close? I guess I’ll have to wait for it to find out.

Tough one. I know 3 versions with almost the same front hull…

Let me see…

Hhhmmmmmmmmm. OK just a guess…

hmmmmmmm… this one may require some hints…

ok here is a hint.

This tanks origin can be found in a 2 continent country, however this tank does not hail from there.

I’ll take a shot…

Foster

uhm, I would consider that a serious guess. would appreciate if you would edit your post. [:)]

Imagine…I nailed it on my first guess.

Hint: It is not what you think it is. He-he-he.

I’ll take my second “guess”…I knew it had to be one of two!

would you please deletee or edit your post though, please. I didn’t say that your guess was wrong.

sorry if you guessed and its not up there. our email is down right now. theres some wierd viruses going around right now pretending to be from our service providers up here and we think an update we downloaded for norton has shut it (email) down.

but the answer is:
The Romanian TR-85. basically a t-54/55 but it has 6 smaller road wheels as opposed to the t54/55’s 5. has different side skirts and lots of extra external turret stowage. it also has a laser range finder.
