That gun looks familiar. It is the same one on the M12 GMC I just built, the French GPF 155mm. The lower looks like one of the original Christie's. That's all I know. Too lazy to reverse image search this on Google.

I've been following this one. I haven't creeped his location but he's not too far from all you guys. Looking forward to seeing what that 30 speed Allison will be able to do for it.

It is a completely customized lower hull with only the front transmission cover and HVSS bogies being re-used. Made from spare parts.

You are correct to a point Hach!. It is indeed part of the ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam) and it is in that rough era.
However this specific tank model has not been identified!

Cool. I'm not quite sure the variant but Jaffa might be a LVT-4A. The 4 .50 cal mounts is why I say this. Gimme a bit and I'll try to come up with a stumper.
