Lmao. I thought the same thing. Thought about Radar mailing home the jeep piece by piece on M.A.S.H. Those photos are great. The guy who did them really did a great job.



It's all about clean living. Just do the right thing, and karma will help with the rest.

Definitely a Light Japanese tank. Something on a Ha-Go chassis for certain. Under 8 tons.



I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11

...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted]

The pictures are really great but I would be wary of the accuracy of the captions. The Dauntless on the carrier deck wears the tail markings of the Yorktown air group yet the caption says it is on the Hornet. While I suppose that is possible, it isn't likely.
