T-55/M18, Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina (ARBiH), 1997 image - Tank Lovers Group

One of the most unusual adaptations of the M18 was this odd combination developed by a Bosnian unit in one of their workshops. It consists of a M18 turret mounted on a T-55 tank hull. Presumably, the T-55 hull lacked a suitable turret, other- wise the combination makes little sense. The workshop added a circular ring to make up the difference in diameter between a M-55 turret and the much smaller M18 turret. The paint scheme is fairly typical of Bosnian vehicles, consisting of a base coat of dark green with an irregular sprayed pattern of dark brown and black with small dots of yellow. Many ARBiH M18 tank destroyers had a form of national insignia painted on the bow with the Bosnia-Herzegovina crest in the center of the insignia.
