Looks to be a really, really bad representation of an American M48 Patton or M60.

When I said "Actually pretty neat looking" I was refering to it as an art characature done in wood and not an exacting scale model. A lot more complicated detail than many wooden aircraft "models" is involved. Certainly not an exact replica of anything.

Ya, it's an M-60 with M-1 looking skirts.
The only M-60's with skirts, that I know of, were IMI upgrades. IMI upgraded 170 of these tanks for Turkey and it was an amazing 10 year project. Here's a picture...
Compare the upgrade to the carving...
The carving is nice. I would probably just cut off the skirts. Might be possible from the looks of this picture...
It weighs a whopping 10 pounds and costs $18 for shipping!

I recently have run across these wood models. The Huey and the Blackhawk are pretty well done. They run $25 a piece at a local flea market.
