I thought at first it was Finnish with Hakaristi so prominent.

The unit? the shield shape says Panzer of course. Within it the curved swastika suggests 5th SS Pz Gren Div Viking or 11th SS Nordland. Either way it suggests you have a Scandinavian crew serving in the SS. Heaven (or more likely Hell) help them up against that T34/85 you showed us

Yes, I thought the same thing. Oops, if I caused any offence (offense)

I was trying to be positive and to suggest that the tank presented might be from one of two Scandinavian SS Panzer Div Units, with a very atypical set of markings, however.

After all the work that went into the modelling and painting, I think that most of us would suggest that random marking is disappointing. There is so much help in accurate portrayal, above all in German armour!
