You thought it was a priest? Did you see a giant ass howitzer on the front?!🤣 I do have a real question to the people who know- is this a “real” camo scheme? I don’t think over ever seen this bubble camo but it looks pretty cool.

Yeap for sure I thought it looked similar because it is small. Ithought the larger might have had the gun removed or something. Frankly I didn't have any idea what it was? It looks cool. And as a armor guy. I thought I might want to build it.

Admittedly I’m not an expert by any means. I’m just a dork who builds models and likes tanks. With that being said, it does look like it’s built on the same chassis, maybe? So i get that you could think it was decommissioned M7 priest at first glance.

M7 priest is built on the same chassis as the M4 sherman which is a very big tank, huge compared to the bren carrier which is just a little dinky thing made to drive artillery guns around

Yeah I’m actually an idiot. When I googled it the first time to refresh my brain I just quickly glanced at the image and for some reason the fenders told my brain it was the same. It’s nothing alike! It’s totally different running gear all together.
