yes
you want to expand on that m1(yes it is a word)
heres what your need:
what tank it is
what is is suppose to be
waht country used it
its a panther modified to look like an M10, it was used by the germans. (winter 1944, Battle of the Bulge)
from Dictionary.com: ersatz \AIR-sahts; UR-sats, adjective:
Being a substitute or imitation, usually an inferior one. Ersatz derives from German Ersatz, “a substitute.”
The term was often used by German soldiers to name the coffee substitute (usually Chichory) that they were provided with as part of their meal ration -ie, erstaz coffee. (imitation coffee).
As M1 says, the Ersatz Panther was a modified SdKfz 171 Panther Ausf G; field modified with sheet steel to make the outline look like an US M10 Tank Destroyer from a reasonable distance.
FrostyGirl scratchbuilt one in 1/72nd scale for the Sherman Group build if you want to go back a few dozen pages to find it. Also Dragon have indicated that they will produce a 1/35th scale kit this year.
I think Accurate Armour has a 1/35 resin add-on kit to make an ersatz M-10, too.
m1 gets it!!!
not sure if it was used in the battle of the buldge, the pic is of it in ardennes (probaly not spelt right)
the ardennes is the battle of the bulge… thats where the battle of the bulge took place…
ok, here’s mine
M1 easy one. The Russian AT-L Light Artillery Tractor.
Okay, another easy one:
MBT-70!
Told you it was easy! your turn again fella.
I didn’t say mine would be hard… If I had the time to look up a hard ojn there would have been a quiz this week… [;)]
Hey, I like 'em easy!
Easy is good!
More better easy!
I have a picture somewhere from when I was in AIT in FT Knox, KY in front of an MBT-70 that they have on display across from the Burger King on post. I was going training for M60A3s and when I saw that monster I almost dropped my Whopper ! !
j-hulk are you going to go? don’t forget about this!! [;)]
Go? You mean post a nutty armor pic?
OK…this one might be easy. I can’t find any real pix (I wonder why?[;)]), but these are of a nifty little toy, of which I am the proud owner.
What are these?
They’re mighty big! The toy is 1/700 scale.
You mean the hamburger, right[;)][;)]
Anyhoo, had you kept going down the street to the LST Building near what was Trover Hall (WWII Armor School area), there was (maybe still is?) one you could crawl around inside of, if the building happens to be open for a tour!

J-Hulk no fair…I thought the Tirpitz and Bismark had been sunk without chance of ressurection. Now you show us pics of their gun turrets on tank chassis.
there quite cool
a bit mad but cool
lol youve got the toys and you dont know what they are? i cant tell you
No Jon, I know what they are! You guys and gals gotta answer the question.
The turret is from the Scharnhorst, by the way. The middle gun was removed.
If you look closely at the two on the left, you can the see two Maus turrets on the back.
Those nutty Nazis!
