One for the vehicle geeks

Post by Buff Orpington »

I know it's a Panhard VBL but is this the 20mm canon version rather than the more usual M2?

I don't think it's a PzIII. Well that's one ruled out.

I think that could even be a 25mm cannon.

Yes but is it not a 37mmv Pz III, a short 50mm, long 50mm or short 75mm?

I think that the tractor's plough is an early Mk IV Ausf H, you can tell from the welded rivet holes.

Looks like a VBL Canon to me, that looks a bit more substantial than a 12.7mm..

Cheers Stu, that's my vehicle for the Tim's modernish game sorted out. I just need to paint the cannon black and touch up a few details.
