ah you must of seen the GTE badge on the back!  The country it comes from built its tanks with rivets and this is a kind of large version 
Place in ground, keep at arms length, light the blue touch paper and stand back!

You beat me to it steelers.
Hi Cov,
I thought that the roadwheels were reminiscent of the Churchills (I've been seeing them in my bloody dreams, thanks to the CTC!) - hence the guess (Harland & Wolff would've been next), you cheeky bugger! lol

Steelers you are so close but it's not a medium tank like the Igo 11-13 tons but more heavier at 18 tons.
When I saw it the Churchill came to mind but was hoping it would lead people astray!
As your so close Steelers it's yours, it is the Japanese Mrk 1 heavy tank.

Thanks Cov1, got to admit it was your 'made using rivets' clue that steered me in the right direction. Right then, designed and built in 1943, only 16 were completed.

Cool vehicle, but no idea. Similar to the T14 in many ways.
Brazilian or something?

Not Brazilian, but you're on the right continent.

D.L. 43 or "Nahuel" (Tiger in Mapudungun). Sorry, just being a smart arse.
 If it move's its a target, if it stays still its a well disciplined target.

Sorry Steelers it wasn't me! Though I was looking at Brazilian I didn't think of the Argies. Though if you look on the building on the right the words FIAT stick out. Good picture

Maresal? Based on a T-60 chassis. Mounted a Romanian-build 75 mm anti-tank gun. It never went beyond prototype stage though.
If it move's its a target, if it stays still its a well disciplined target.
