    Sort of right- its the Tanque Argentino Mediano, or TAM, but it was designed by the German firm of Thyssen-Henschel under the TH301 label.

        The what? No such thing.

        Grandpa was right, its the Th301, thought its real name is the TAM, since the Germans don't actually use it.

          I knew it sounded fishy but I saw a model just like it

                        Don't you know exactly what it is?

                        Also, how could it not be WW2 or pre-war? It most certainly is not post WW2, nor WW1.

                          This is from most probably the CBI Theatre of War

                          purchased in 1935 from Britain due to its unreliable steering

                            From the article I got the pic from

                            Chinese Nationalists bought the Vickers Carden Loyd amphibious tank. 29 were purchased in 1935 and organized into the 1st tank battalion. The vehicle had a water-proof sheet-steel hull, with steel-sheathed floats attached. Steering was via a conical cylinder around the propeller, moved by a connection to driver's steering levers. The British Army found the vehicle mechanically unreliable, as the suspension weak and prone to damage easily.

                              well, since it was not guessed, post another one. Its late, no need to reveal the secret too fast.
