M7 Kangaroo 1.7 by Uncle T

808 bricks.

My version of the Canadian APC (armoured personnel carrier) M7 Kangaroo.

It's an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

A Kangaroo was a Canadian armoured personnel carrier (APC) during the Second World War. It was created by converting a tank chassis, in this case an M7 Priest was "defrocked" by removing the howitzer and room was made for 8-10 passengers.
Kangaroos were created as an expedient measure "in the field" by the Canadian Army, and were so successful that they were used by other Commonwealth forces, including the British Army.

Their ability to manoeuvre in the field with tanks was a major advantage over earlier designs, and led to the dedicated APC designs that were introduced by almost all armies immediately after the war.

This one is armed with one 050 calibre machine gun (turret) and one .30 calibre machingun (over the driver). I could fit 8 seats into this one, but more Bobs can stand which was a quite common prectice to fit more men into the Kangaroo.
