That is a good pic of you (via your link) next to a L3/35.<br /><br />Your comment regarding the L3's use in Ethiopia is telling: I wonder if its success fighting ill-armed tribesmen created a placebo effect, reinforcing a perceived sense of power of the tankette's abilities.

They also had little or no anti-tank weaponry, let alone any armor themselves. There are reports that some desperate warriors charged up and stuck swords and bit of railroad track into the treads to disable them!<br /><br />If I may link to one of my own articles, you can see another image of the L3/35 in this post about military history museums in Rome.<br />http://www.gadling.com/2010/09/16/military-museums-in-rome/Sean McLachlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778503397743759469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-1651151609288479042013-01-17T02:28:24.053-06:002013-01-17T02:28:24.053-06:00Looks very nice, hope it does not have to die for ...Looks very nice, hope it does not have to die for the cause to many times.
