T34/85, Factory No.122 at Gorky production, date is hard as wheels are not correct/original for the hull but based on the turret casting details (Zavrod 174 with the Zis-s-53 cannon) I would say May-June 1944

Looks like it has a Brooks saddle though :)

Whatsthisthen?...Ukraine speciial

Post by NewcastleFalcon »

The Tank has gone well done to James, and Alasdair with the detail. It stands in Mykolayiv

So here's the Car probably not that familiar a model outside of the Ukraine

Bit of photograph scrutiny, bit of a google query, should pop up fairly easily :-D

It looks, although I know it's not, vaguely like an NSU Prinz...

Whatsthisthen?. Ukrainian Special

Post by NewcastleFalcon »

Here's a cryptic clue

Would score 9 in a Game of Scrabble in the Ukraine if playing with the official Scrabble distribution of "letters" for the Ukraine and your playing partners were happy to accept abbreviations of Ukrainian Car manufacturers as valid in the game :-D

These two references should help

Ukranian Letter set Scrabble
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble_ ... tributions

Ukranian alphabet
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_alphabet

There are easier routes. Ukraine isn't overflowing with Car manufacturers after all :-D

Spot on James! Either you know your Scrabble and Ukranian Alphabet or took a more normal route!

Its a "3A3" (ZAZ) which is refected in the Company logo, and would score 2X4 (3) plus 1 (A) in Ukranian Scrabble!

You probably should have obliterated the number plate Jim :-D The seasoned "whatsthisthener" can unleash an arsenal of weapons of skulldugery with that bit of info to get the answer!
