Summarized back story of this legendary beauty: When NZ was drawn into WW2, some heroes began thinking of armored defense. Bob Semple decided to make one, making this the best (and only) Kiwi tank ever built.
Wow, designing a WW1-tank during the WW2-era is kind of like using a T-55 in a modern war!
While reading up on this tonk, I found something you might enjoy. Allow me to introduce you to the modernized Bob Semple Tank, aka the Chibi Bradley
Who needs a render when the Rheinmetall Wiesel exists and is actually even smaller https://reaperfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/94637658_117156439963695_5041534802201673728_o.jpg
This is pretty much just a technical before they were called technicals, no? preexisting vehicle, bolt some machineguns and metal plates on to make a fighting vehicle in times of desperation
Kind of, I guess. But in my book, a technical should at least have one pair of wheels and substancially less armor.

Its the armor that makes it a tank, not the gun(s).

Prototank?
Technically using proper terminology. Boy tanks have big guns like cannons and girl tanks (tankettes) only had machine guns or small autocannons. Most people think of the Italians when someone says tankettes because of their prolific use during WW2 but the original meaning applied to Mark IV British landships that had either cannons or machine guns.
