Is it me or is TRK's post invisible?
Edit: me posting fixed it
New picture.
I recognise the basic design from Combat Mission. And the tracks look right but I can't match the turret.
Is it a Japanese type 95?

Type 95 is close to the mark, but it's not correct.
Type 94 tankette? Armament seems a better fit but not sure about the hull...
(Hope it's ok my just wandering in and playing the game btw. Guess I should have said that before though. It's a very educational thread.)

Type 94 is less close to the mark than the type 95. And pay no attention to armament please. This tank doesn't have the armament that is usual for this design.
Yes, it's ok.(Hope it's ok my just wandering in and playing the game btw. Guess I should have said that before though. It's a very educational thread.)
Aha, 97 Te-Ke then. Going by the rounded front of the hull.

Type 97 Te-Ke (light tank) is correct. This tank was used by the Japanese in Indonesia until their surrender. After the Japanese surrender it was picked up by the Indonesian Army and used against the Dutch until it was captured in 1947 by the Dutch first marine brigade in East Java. It was then sent to the Netherlands as a war trophy. It is currently in the Dutch Army museum in Delft.
Type 97 Te-Ke tanks were usually armed with a 37mm gun. Due to shortages many of them were armed with a MG instead. This tank is one of them.
Your turn to post a picture, Sicknero.

Interesting thanks. I wondered about the MG but then shortages do explain all sorts of oddities.
I'm new to this, so apologies if this one is too easy/boring....

Minesweeper/hunter/layer armed with a single 40mm bofors gun?
Correct on the ubiquitous 40mm, she's not a minesweeper though.

Perfect little ship for protecting frightened British fishermen against mighty Icelandic Vikings.
Island class patrol vessel.
Hehehe. Well we're safe now, the Vikings can't afford longships any more
Spot on anyway, she's an Island class offshore patrol craft.
First built by Hall Russel for Scottish Fisheries in the mid-70s, the design was much liked by the RN who had 7 more ships built. They were tasked with the security of offshore oil and gas as well as our fishing grounds. During the cold war, they would also tail Soviet vessels when necessary.
The Island class stayed in service for over 20 years until replaced by the River Class Patrol Craft, most of them being sold to other navies. This picture is "BNS Karatoa" of the Bangladesh Navy - she was formerly HMS Alderney.
