    Well it looks that nobody knows what is this. Or maybe everybody forgot this one.

    It's Polish prototype of 4x4 artillery tractor PZinż-312

    Nice one Sol, I'd completely forgotten about it - A handsome beast, closest I'd got was "errr... Skoda-ish?.."

    Well I'm stuck with this one (again!). It looks like something designed for Halftrack Rally Championship. So far, I only know, or think that I know, that it's French or just have French plate, and it have Kégresse track. And yes it's armoured. That will be all. What was it purpose? It have only one member of crew so I presume that it was some kind of armoured artillery tractor.

    It's a Citroën-Kégresse Model N infantry supply carrier circa 1931, it was rejected by the army.

    Russian NKL26 Aerosled, I think we've had it before, but it made me turn up this nice page on them that I'd not seen, or has been updated since I last visited:
    The Propellor-Driven Sleigh.

    That's a nice rare one and no mistake. It is one of the first two prototypes for the French Char Léger H 35, built by Hotchkiss in early 1935.

    Well it probably used to be a Hetzer/G13 (or perhaps more likely an ex G33/2), but that Turret is curiously archaic... like something from much earlier Pz35/38 development.
    Strange...

    Adam,
    I agree with you, the turret looks awfully outdated compared to the armour plating and chassis.

    First time I have seem this type!
