Enigma Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I heard from a reliable source there will be a 1937 TKS tankette at the show all the way from Poland. Looking forward to seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranWC51 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I wonder if that's not the one that originates from Sweden. There was one damaged example in Axvall (former place of the Swedish armor museum) in Sweden, but it has been restored in Poland and it is on display at the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw. The TKS is indeed a rare bird. Today, parts of TKS's can seen in the Museum of Polish Armored Forces in Warsaw in Poland, while complete TK-3 (or TKF) can be seen in Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade, Serbia and TKS in the Museum of Armored Forces in Kubinka (near Moscow) in Russia. There is also an almost complete example in Norway. There has been active cooperation in the last few years between the Arsenalen, the Swedish armored museum, and museums in Poland, and some exchange of vehicles has taken place.

Pzkpfw-e Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 There are a number of running TKS in private Polish collections, Adam Rudnicki Collection has one, Jacek Kopczyński Collection another, More likely than a national museum to send one over?

eddy8men Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 lol I was near the tankette when the owner was talking a little about it and the only original item was a spare wheel carried on the rear armour he made a joke about it and I thought good for you mate it's nice to see someone so honest and up front. rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Can he make me one, was my first thought to the above! Actually it must have been quite difficult to build to ensure it looked very 'original' and it certainly convinced me. I wonder if they sourced the tracks from another type or cast their own?

Enigma Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 It as indeed a replica but nicely done I think. (I thought it was a original one though until I spoke to the crew.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
