Hi,I hope someone can help me.In the film Tank Girl,the main character drives around in a modified tank.I know the base is a late-production Stuart M5A1 but can anyone tell me where the rest of the add-ons came from,if they are from other tanks or just made up for the film.Here is a pic,I hope it helps.
many thanks
Lena

Very little if anything else came from a tank. The gun tube is a "strap-on" the extra wheels and gears are not connected to the running gear the missle array is some kind of Hollywood cartoon looking rocket and the back deck........well. Is this a model or s it a full sized tank? The rear looks like something taken from the back end of motorcycle saddlebags / compartments

It was actually a full sized tank used for the film.I figured most of the add-ons were made up but wanted to be sure.

No it's a bog-standard Stuart, you've all been inhaling too much plastic glue! LOL
