Apart from its own tracks it has Churchill tracks for side protection and another unidentified type to protect the driver.

Hi Larry,

The tank at your pic has very interesting barrel. Is it the same tank as can be seen at this modeller link?

Any comments about this interesting barrel? Theoretically I know that the Fireflies barrels were camouflaged in this manner none the less the pics of the tanks with these barrels are rather rare.

Best regards
