Ok, that's a new one on me. What model of tank is that?

 

[Wurger]

That's the French heavy tank Char 2C.

 

[buffnut453]

That's the French heavy tank Char 2C.

Thanks Wurger. Should've known it was French from the name painted underneath the skull and crossbones. I'm familiar with the Char 1b but hadn't seen a 2c before. It's a tall beast, isn't it?

Thankyou for sharing.

Cheers,
Mark

The tank looks like a well overgrown Renault FT. But you are right, a very impressive view.
