Pzkpfw-e Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Not an "FT17", not an FT for that matter, but its US-built version the 6 ton M1917. This tank was purchased by Hayes Otoupalik from the John Furrer War Museum in Arizona. This tank was also one of four that originally belong to MC Bradley Military Studios of North Hollywood, California. While this tank was in operational condition when purchased, it was completely restored in the late 1980s and the original M1917 37mm tank gun which is registered and in live firing condition was located and purchased to complete the turret. It is the only live firing 37mm tank gun known to survive From "Surviving Panzers" [video=youtube_share;mPkMn158Fwo] Edited March 6, 2013 by Marmite!!

Enigma Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I wouldn't mind having 1 of those. I even have a original Ww2, US uniform to wear... A pity the sound cuts out just before firing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
