Images from the Battle of the Bulge

Interesting images from the Bulge.

Unfortunately there isn't much explanation, but I did spy a Panzer painted to look like a US vehicle.

If you're referring to this one:



That is probably an M-36 TD. The mantlet is very similar to a Panther but the glacis area is different and you can just make out the VVSS suspension elements behind the front drive sprockets.



Thanks for posting the link though.

It's meant to mimic the M-10 though. Hence the wedge shaped mantlet.

Thanks, Stagger - I saw the sloped flanks and paused to reconsider. But figured if I were wrong some of you guys would be swift in helping correct me. Thanks. I should do more 1:48 modeling of armored vehicles. I'd probably be better at this stuff. :)
