ok, get the reference books out and the web engines up, because here’s the second id quiz.
DO NOT POST SERIOUS ANSWERS IN THE THREAD. email your answer to me.
I came across this thing when I was looking for pictures of what I wanted to use for this quiz, I quickly decided that this was the AFV to do. I think this one will be somewhat tougher than the last one. there is about 3 different names I came across for this vehicle when I was doing some more research, I will accept any of them. you do not need to get the exact version though.
HINT:
it had a 37mm cannon and a machine gun and had a top speed of 50 km/h
REPLIES:6
CORRECT:6
good luck, I think your going to need it. [}:)]
edit
ending time is monday night, so I’m giving you the whole weekend to do research
I am hoping after this quiz that someone else will have a stumper that they want to make everyone guess at. (but if not, I’ll continue doing these)
out of everyone on here, I would have guessed you, domi, to know it right off. (don’t know why though) I’ll take shermie on the quick research front though. for girls, I would take cassibill or frostygirl to get it first. [;)][;D]

Etch sets, resin superdetails, etc. Eduard even makes a set of etch for the eggs. Of course, they are perfectly flat, but no one ever notices things like that.
There are several great books written about their use on that fateful day, and their subsequent destruction later than afternoon by a Russian partisan armed only with an old copy of the boy scout manual.
