Looks like a What-If has set the cat amongst the idiots in the wonderful world of tanks. Somebody made an 'M3 Lancer' model, which is an M3 Grant with a 17pdr  :o in the sponson and no 37mm turret. Somebody at the Lahore tank museum then appears to have modified a 1:1 scale M3 on display there into something similar. Cue much hot air being expended on various forums... ;D

Tank YouTuber ConeOfArc (who's worth a follow BTW) has done a video on it:

As far as I can see the model version didn't come from here, but if anyone knows different, please let me know.

EDIT: This seems to be the origin: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/americanscalemodel/airfix-1-72-m3-lancer-what-if-build-t1585.html

Done for a "What-If" GB on the Airfix Tribute Forum.

As to Cone-head whinging about the creator not making clear it's a fantasy, and being
guilty of spreading misinformation, uh the creator's post on the American Scale Modeler
forum is titled Airfix 1/72 M3 Lancer What-If Build.
:rolleyes:

Plus the first sentence in his post:
"I am doing a GB on the ATF site..."

Go to the Airfix Tribute Forum, plug M3 Lancer into the search box, and hey-presto-chango
there it is in the What-If GB.

Coney seems to be a self-important putz.

Great. It wound up an ubernerd.  Sounds like a perfectly executed whiff.  Not on Kit's level perhaps, but funny nonetheless.

And Coney has the type of irritating whiney voice that makes me want to hit him after five minutes.  Total arsepiece.

I can certainly see why he's called it Lancer  ;D  :thumbsup:

Not only is there a model and a mockup but now there's a you tube clip denying its existence.
That's enough proof for me.  Must be real...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

What? It took you 5 minutes? :unsure:

He'd barely finished the first sentence when I got the urge. :wacko:

ConeOfArc's been at it again, this time dragging all the various interpretations of a self-propelled Rheintochter SAM system:


I have pointed out to him that buzzbomb's 2009 build may well be the origin of all these, the rough idea at least being shamelessly ripped off by various model companies.

Just checking my umbrella now in anticipation of the incoming splutterings... :wacko:  :wacko:  :wacko:
