Isn't it cute!
It has more armour on top than either frontally or to the side.
A modern Fiat 500 is bigger, and has more engine capacity!
Why doesn't Pendraken have one?
Did this actually exist?
Yes.
Gave the Germans a hard time too

This is how the whole 'Centurion Incident' began if I remember rightly

:o
Where were the crew?
If you look at the photo of the commander sitting "on top", where the hell is he going to go?
Rear mounted engine...
Pedals?
It's just so dinky and diddy and wouldn't a few dozen of these be a fine sight on a table?

Not only that, were 'recycled' and used by the Germans:-

You can buy them in 10mm scale
... but not (he said sniffily) from Pendraken.
Still waiting for the T35 - FSN
...like certain other real armies.

Why would you want a T35? It'll cost a fortune.
By the time you factor in the metal in the tank itself, one version of the crew trying to fix the vehicle and a second of the crew running away because they couldn't fix it it's going to be a very expensive objective marker. :)
Look good in a large bomb crater with a rail flat car on top of it..
I agree almost as much use as mythical transformers or strange middle Americans, and perhaps even 1960's armoured bridge layers.
