I wasn't writing off conscripts as hobbyists.

I was just saying that they were probably conscripts as they often tends to get the older, minimalist gear (hence looking a bit wonky).

First thought was that it was the VK4501 in its testing days, but that's a Bergepanzer Tiger(P), right? The recovery crane is not visible or installed yet.

Had to blur the model number and name, which were stencilled on the side...

 

Thanks!

 

That's a really neat picture of a really neat vehicle. I didn't have that one.

Yep.  Intentional trick there.

You have even more neat pictures of the Lockheed XM808 Twister in Hunnicutt's Armored Car - A History of American Wheeled Combat Vehicles, but pretty much everything penned by Hunnicutt, reprint or not, is rather pricey nowadays.

 

I'll pass the baton to someone else for the next picture, I'm kinda short on hard-to-recognize vehicles ATM.

Yeah I have digital copies of the books because while I do ok, I definitely don't do well enough to afford dead tree versions of his books.

Well, you can find that picture on p.216 of Armored Car. So, you see, you actually had it all along. :)

They're Renault UEs that apparently where converted into security vehicles by the Germans and are here in use by Danish resistance forces.  I've seen some similar version that was also a result of German re-purposing, but this one is new and interesting to me.

I was hoping at least one person would say AMX-13, but yes, that is an SK-105.

 

I'm confused, is posting pictures of armored fighting vehicles illegal in Denmark?

I'm posting from my phone so posting pictures is a little annoying.

That would be a Henschel HWK 13, a light scout tank that was a relative of the HWK 11 APC.

 

 

Someone else can go.  I don't know any obscure tanks.

This one was given to Norway and fitted with a Browning M1917 and it wasn't that hard since its most of what's talked about on the L-120 wikipage
