Only real comment I have to make is that it seems like a rather large crew. Most medium tanks don't even carry six crewmen. If I were designing an armoured car, I'd want to limit it to three men, just because I'd want to limit my casualties per armoured car that are lost...

Just my two cents - not a critique, just a comment.

May be the crew will be reduced to 4 (Captain, Driver and 2 gunner), but in reality it has 6 !!!

What vehicle is it based on? Obviously there's a real precedent as you have photos, but I don't recognize the type.

Interesting. Of course, given the size of China's population, there may not be a problem with a big crew.....

Come on CG, you are such a great artist, so i think it isn't a problem for you to draw a similar vehicle. I can not draw so beautiful.

Hope you're not offended, and I promise to ask the next time.

Sweden sold them to Denmark, and even delivered some.
Most where embargoed with the outbreak of WW2.
They served in Sweden until the mid fifties when a small number where exported to the Dominican Republic along with DH Vampire jetfighters and Landsverk L60 light tanks, where they served until the eighties.

If its swedish I'd say that falls under Earls domain, under Nordmark.
