A1E1(B) Independent

Even though the chassis is 4 wide, because of track placement it tenchnically is 5 wide...

I think.

:P

 

Known as the Independent B, or the "stub", this tank is a variant of the A1E1 Independent used by the United Province of Scotia. This tank was different from the first in that, it was about four feet shorter, had slightly thicker armour, had different engines, a new turret, and the turrets were all placed much farther back.

Because of the smaller design, it was more easily affordable, easier to manufacture, and more maneuverable.

And the back two turrets could fire straight up at aircraft!

Thanks to my father for taking the pictures with his much better camera.

And I believe this is one of the first made of Lego, and definitely the first on Flickr.

Although, it's technically not the ACTUAL A1E1, so...
