'Tis the power of WD40 & Hammerite! (Maybe gaffer tape too!)

Shows how crampred those little buggers were, no gun or internals & I'm still wondering how you're going to get 3 crew inside!

Must be possible to walk from the German border to Moscow without getting your feet wet!

What a cracking lot of old machines in that last vid.

There are some known Medium Dragons left, in Thailand.

My word, who says you can't polish a turd!

That kit must be pushing 40 years old, I'm sure I bought it when I was a kid!

This afternoon, trundling through Hockerton on the A617, Newark towards Mansfield. A trio of ex-army landrovers, first one's reg was MXV something?

Good photos, I like the interesting angles on the He162, for example.

It's pleasing to see that the museum is preserving the vehicles like the Standard Vanguard (If that is what the "Hunchbacked" saloon is) and the Ford Zephyr.

Even if it's screwed down, the thieving scumbags will take it!

Despite liking the idea of seeing a Tiger II at the museum, I have to agree with John, it is the nations tank museum after all. Where is the Sherman 75mm and the Cromwell, not to mention a Firefly at TankFest? Money Money Money I suppose.

Panzerporn!

Best not mention his Hurricane then :coffee:

Pity that nobody moved it to a place of safety, before the locals took their spanners to it!

I believe that 104 is missing engine & transmission.

I have a vague memory, of photos of its engine bay, being posted on here.

- I best not mention Kevin Wheatcrofts - Elefant - Panzerjäger Tiger then :coffee:

He's got a WHAT?

RAM Kangaroos.

This one's labelled as a Command Tank.

13th/18th Hussars, 8th Armoured Brigade, near the River Waal at Nijmegen, 15 October 1944.

Appears to have an ariel on the front, but no other, visible, extra kit.

The late Lord Carver's M4A1 (Sherman II) Command Tank, 1st RTR.

Turret appears to have a few extra ariels & plenty of extra boxes on the hull.

Didn't sell. Silly reserve?

Must've cost a few bob to import it from the US.

Certainly much better than the usual, T-xx based ones!

In Russian, but some interesting bits of armour around.

Finland uses the M72 LAW, also the NLAW since 2007.

They've also used (Still use?) the 95mm SM58-61 Recoilless Anti-Tank Gun.

I checked that list first, can't see this one on it.

Not sure where this (very) second-hand Comet is (Finland?)
