I'm liking them Peter - have you thought about getting a light box to help with photography - you have some very strong shadows on these. There are some very  cheap ones available on eBay and Aliexpress that do the job.

I know, have been struggling to make good pics recently. combination of changed lighting and other camera. I'll have to play around with the settings.

it's actually a gun shield that gets popped up when driving (you know, so they can actually see where they are going)

it's a vickers carden-loyd mkVI with a belgian FRC 47mm cannon  (frc= fonderie royale de canons)  . only 6 were made, nd proved a highly unstable gun platform. Still, they were dug in along the meuse river and were actually used in combat.... but not long :D

http://www.wardrawings.be/WW2/Files/1-Vehicles/Allies/5-Others/03-Belgium/1-TrackedVehicles/Files/VickersMk6-47mmFRC.htm

"They were used by the "Chasseurs ardennais" until 1938, then within two Regiments of Cyclist-Border. They were used in ambush along the Meuse river and made fire the first (close to the city of Visé) on the Germans, May 10, 1940."
