I love the Russian stuff- simple, efficient, and dangerous (usually to the enemy, as well)!

Going back to the original question, the Bronniford is a biggish lump of Russian (converted from Ford) metal and has the distinction that if you type it into Google you get no references! I managed to find this photo though:

My source says it weighs 5.2 tons, 85HP engine, 4 crew, 15mm max armour, 35mph max speed, 1x45mm gun and 1 mg. It didn't state the wheel size though, but you will need at least 12!


I also found a Jap armoured car which is similar if you are into big crude lumps of metal (with nice flat panels that are easy to reproduce):
