  1. That ne was made in Russia, this appears to be in Hungary & dated July 2010, the first shots I've seen of the White Tiger replica (which wasn't completed in time for the film, IIRC, some awful bodge-job featured in it) are from Sept 2011.

  2. From what links I've found, that Comet's the only survivor, seems that once the Cubans were sent Russian kit, the rest were scrapped.

    Here's another one of the Comet.

    Found a couple Staghounds there too, University of Havana.

    M47? I assume it's an ex-Bay of Pigs trophy. Playa Giron.

     

    The only other photos of old tanks I can find in Cuba, are T34/85s & Su100s, including these submerged examples.

    So, so surviving Shermans in Cuba?

  3. Part 2 says that the Chinese one's at the China North Vehicle Research Institute in Beijing, doesn't sound very museumish to me, so I'd guess it's a present from one of the Middle Eastern countries, missing skirts etc. Maybe ex-Iranian via Iraq?

    Not sure if it's dirt or sand-coloured paint on the front.
