What is that odd tank? It has panzer III wheels and suspension with a T26 upper hull.

The green tank ia a T26B and the white one is a BT5.The other two in marching order were a T26s and a T28.

Very nice! Those churchgoers might want to get inside when the bullets fly. Though there is nothing more stubborn than a Finn. I know, I married one!

I did too!

In reality Finnish tanks saw very little action in Winter War, biggest action was in the battle of Honkaniemi were only 6 Vickers were able to take part and five of them were lost in action (Red Army lost 9 tanks).

Quite fitting game for December 6th as we celebrated our 100th year of Independence yesterday

Quite alright for gaming purposes of course but the T26 did not have a parallel top run on the tracks. That is for sure a 1/72 pzr III suspension probably HAT. I recognise the drive sprocket and large idler wheel. Did you kitbash it yourself from spares?

Here's a good pic of the T26 suspension:
