    It kinda looks like an early prototype of the French char B1 although the tracks dont match. My guess is something from the interwar period, and probably a prototype.

    Is it an experimental model of the russian t-28? Atleast the tracks seem to match.

    Also I blame my childhood obsession with world war II......and wikipedia.

    Im dumbstruck then. Is it an experimental tank of some sort? I looked up experimental tanks on google images and that seemed to be the closest

    It was an experimental tank, yes. Joske was very close with guessing.

    Yeah, when he meant joske was close, he said it was probably one of the French tanks, but i'm too lazy to look on google now.

    Well as I said before one of the original prototypes of the char b1 (SRA, SRB, FAHM, FCM21...etc) I dont find enough photographs on them to be conclusive on it though.

    Yup. It's French, it's a prototype and it's based on the Char D1 chasis.
