JoelH Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I was working the weekend, but managed to snap a sum total of 3 pictures. I have uploaded them and here they are: Those are just a few of the exhibits and displays, the A7V was amazing, managed to talk with a few of the gentlemen that helped Bob build it. It was built from Marine Ply, coated in resin (you would have thought it was metal). My drive went off without a hitch in Leopard. We even had the opportunity on the Saturday afternoon to show people inside. People are amazed how cramped the interior of a MBT is, even though the Leopard is more spacious than Cheiftain. The Tiger was amazing, and the Stug which had only been unveiled on the Friday performed amazingly. Another amazing restoration from the SDKFZ foundation. The Tank Museum is well worth a visit, especially with the summer events that they run. Details of tanks in action displays can be found on the museums website: http://www.tankmuseum.org/ Please add your photos, P.s. Jack I saw you and your GMC but you where busy talking at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 that A7V looks stunning! Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelH Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Regarding the A7V the gun also "fired" at the front. It was amazing to see inside really empty and only half of it had flooring, you just had to hope you didn't trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oily Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 A7V looks okay, ......from the base of the hull/body upwards,..... the real ones had 2 'track bogeys' on each side, so the single ones on the replica kind of spoil things a little. but yes it is convincing enough for re-enactment I suppose....

Big Al Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I was lucky and had a ride in the A7V with Bob driving it was an expriance I will not forget. I think Bob has done a wonderfull job and his skills in building the A7V should be appluded well done BoB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plainmilitary Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) The A7V was a great sight to see, just glad it only did one lap of the arena though. Mark, Jack stole my pass. Edited June 30, 2009 by plainmilitary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 That second photo, a vetran gunner and I were talking baout 25 pounders, the max rate of fire is supposedly eight rounds a minute. he told me then when you see a Panzer over open sights the rate of fire goes up considerably. Seeing that picture I now understand exactaly what he meant!:shake: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
