M24 Chaffee - G200 Series of Vehicles

France


AMX-13 - Modifications both ways, Chaffee Turret on an AMX-13 hull assembly, and a AMX-13 Turret on a Chaffee Hull Assembly.

     It would appear the Chaffee Turret on the AMX hull was "successful" to some degree as their are many pictures showing the modified vehicles in service, not just proving ground type pictures.

Fictions

These tanks ARE NOT M24 based. But by way of the internet or other means have been labeled "M24 based". I would consider anything M24 Series based as using M24 series tracks as a first criteria, then using the same cross drive/differential as a second level of definition.

M24 Series Prototypes and experimental vehicles

If you look at the spectrum of the prototypes of the M24 series many things can be seen. There are multiple crazy and fanciful ideas just for simple test beds. These obviously had great influence on many of the vehicles 5, 10 & 15 years later. The M41 Walker Bulldog series would or could almost be called an M24A1. Well maybe they are not that close but, one could say that everything on the M41 is just one more step up from the Chaffee. 


Also included are the foreign modifications of the M24 or parts there of. Very interesting  ideas.
