I have seen this image in a couple of places around the web, but never a name for it.  However, this is my guess.  It looks a LOT like a scaled down A7V... the first German tank ever produced.  Here is a 3D rendering of one:



And a real life photo:



Now here is the "Mystery Machine":



I think that someone did a DARN GOOD JOB of faking a picture of an A7V to make it look like a one man mini tank.  It looks like it has been cut in half, changed the tracks to off road tires, and resized so that it looks like its for one person.  Even the side machine guns are still on the mini tank image.  I have no idea how they would even fire... much less, how would you aim the main gun and reload it?  And I dont think tires like that even existed in WW1.  Almost every rivet, panel, and line matches up to the real thing.

Anyway... that is my take on it.  Its a very well done, faked photo.  Right down to the wrinkles on the paper.  If I am wrong, (and I kinda hope I am)... I would LOVE to know what it is.  But I have never found anything that names it.  Its just TOO close to the design of an A7V for me.

LOL...  Ok, I have TOO much free time.  I took the 3D pic from above



And did this with it in photoshop in less than 30 minutes:



Which is almost DEAD ON to this one:



So not only are you correct WWhiskey... I think I stumbled across the actual picture the artist used to fake it with!

Hmmm.... looks a little like a swordfish.  But not quite, and those aren't British markings either.  Gonna have to dig for this one!

Talk about obscure air frames heheheh :lol

Is that a Thai Boripatra - is so they were home made and only about  dozen ever produced. A 2 seater bomber cira late 1920's to 1940. My pic tho is not quite the same - hard to tell - the tail is a little different as are some of the wing spar configuration. - But as they made so few they may have made a few alterations as they built them - Thais are notorious for doing things "their" way.



I just love this sorta stuff - keeps us on our toes - thanx for posting it.

...cheers eh!
