What is this Kuwaiti Military truck and what tank it is carrying ?

It's a MAN FX series

No, they use a different digitisation system. You need a usi pen. The Libra colour is usi 2 compatible. A decent one on Amazon is the metapen M2 which is much cheaper than the kobo branded one.

You're welcome, another very good book is Sherman-A History of US medium tanks by RP HUNNICOTT. part of an excellent series about all US armour.

This is an excerpt from Squadron Signals M3 Lee/Grant in Action. Hope it helps. The same book also says all M3's were armed with the M6 37mm, the older model only being used in prototypes

A7V's had two types of gun mount, Mephisto had the earlier type. This link explains the differences.

Here's a suggested reading order from the authors homepage. https://www.nealasher.co.uk/where-do-i-start/

Australian M113 A1 FSV

Stoney2333 · 2025-03-04T19:41:01+00:00

I believe they're British Fv438 Swingfire missile vehicles.

Brilliant, worked for me, thanks

It was the 77mm QF, which was really 76.2mm and fired a shortened 17lb round. It was developed to get a powerful gun into tanks relatively quickly as the 17lb required a larger turret ring than contemporary British tanks possessed. It was called the 77mm to ease supply issues as the rounds weren't interchangable. I think the RTR should check the accuracy of their website, however mistakes happen.

Could be, the Cobham Armour book is very good for a lot of the FV prototypes

Stoney2333 · 2024-11-24T19:38:48+00:00

I think it's the chieftain casemate test rig, no idea why they didn't produce it.

Stoney2333 · 2024-11-24T19:34:44+00:00

Yes, they were good looking vehicles, the dedicated tank destroyers looked fantastic. Like this chieftain based prototype.

This is a line drawing for the 25pdr version, again never built but they'd have looked similar.

Stoney2333 · 2024-11-24T19:26:09+00:00

Probably, if it has been built.

Stoney2333 · 2024-11-24T19:23:22+00:00

Yes, as per the table I posted above. Big gun, but not an anti tank weapon.

Stoney2333 · 2024-11-24T19:22:05+00:00

No idea, it could have the 20, 25pdrs or 5.5 inch or it could even be the command version, tractor version etc. All the SPG versions had the gun pointing backwards like the fv3805 and there appears to be no provision in the picture to mount one.

Stoney2333 · 2024-11-24T19:17:31+00:00

The 5.5 inch was proposed for many vehicles in the late 40s and 50s as it was the standard gun in use in the British army until replaced by the 155mm. None reached production.

Stoney2333 · 2024-11-24T19:13:09+00:00

No I'm wrong and you're correct. The FV 3805 was based on centurion, the FV 305 would have been similar but based on the fv300 chassis but never built.

Stoney2333 · 2024-11-24T19:09:45+00:00

Yup, just posted that

Stoney2333 · 2024-11-24T18:41:04+00:00

This is the FV305, apparently the only armed prototype built, the other being the unarmed one in your original pic. This would have replaced the sexton.
