M24 Chaffee

[Story]

Notsomuch the tank but the character studies.

I would imagine that there are people who would try to salvage that and get it up and running again.

By the body language of the crew on top of the tank, I didn't interpret anything to be wrong with it.

Here's more inspiration.

Certainly not a rout. They all look pretty cool, calm & collected.

The little guy in the centre, possibly an officer or NCO? (He's wearing a 1911/A1 & has binoculars slung around his neck.) looks just about ready to take on the entire NKA all on his lonesome!

[Story]

Dude on the left with the pile cap looks like he has an LT rank on it.

My guess is the guy with his back to the camera in front of this outfit is a Captain.

Agreed - they look ready to kick some serious ass.

The tank says PHILIPPINES on it, so they may be Filipino soldiers, not Korean.

What the?

Some sort of portable test bed device, looks like it's mounted on the back end of some truck from (considering those duelies).

The turret on the trailer is not from an M24 Chaffee. 

It is actually the turret from a Swedish light tank called the Stridsvagn 74.

That is one of the weirdest tanks I've ever seen!

Under "Use" at the previously shared Wikipedia link it states:

Stridsvagn 74 was used in the Swedish Army armoured brigades as a replacement for the cancelled purchase of AMX-13 until it was replaced by strv 103. It was then used in independent corps tank companies, and even later relegated to the infantry support role in assault gun companies before being phased out of service in 1981 (strv 74 V) and 1984 (strv 74 H). The turrets were retained and later used as static gun pillboxes, which were phased out and demolished in the early 2000s.

It is also a very closely related to or is a direct descendant of the Czechoslovak Panzerkampfwagen 38(t), originally known as the ČKD LT vz. 38.

Ding-Hao Hobby produce(d) a kit 1/35 of this spiky little tank, hard to find tho...

[GTX_Admin]

Got one in the stash...

[finsrin]

First I known of this - looking nifty.

[Kerick]

That looks like a whiff already.
With the T number I suppose it never went into production. If it had it probably would have been used in Korea and Vietnam.

Man... your "he who dies with the most unmade kits" stash sale is going to contain some real esoteric subjects  ;

[Kerick]

I wonder how that turret would look on a Sherman hull?

Look at the Canadian Skink.
