Re: Real or fake
Some of my favorites from the heavy tow bar trials.
Something worth noting.....the natural weathering reference point on the photo below, look at the staining marks running down from the scalloped fillet between the pannier underside and the hull side, the tank has spent many months outside in all weathers, those marks are totally natural and can easily be reproduced with an air pen.

- The old Tiger 1 range target has had some new rubber tyres and a good oiling so it now looks a little better and runs more smoothly. I can now see why the recovery crews would remove the tracks and tow the vehicle on it's road wheels (conditions allowing of course) it's so much easier, only problem, what do you do with the tracks, tow them behind?

Interesting Phil, so I thought I'd translate. The ranges for penetration are pretty salutary. The only weapon that doesn't require suicidal bravery is the 85mm on the T-34.

Re: Real or fake
Nice KT photo Phil. That tree is just the right scale. If that is a model, the scale and background are superbly placed to give the 1:1 look.
best regards,

Re: Real or fake
I wonder when this photo was taken, the vehicle next to the house looks eastern block of around the 1970's ?

Re: Real or fake
Thanks Simon, something's not right I reckon is a fabrication?

Re: Real or fake
According to FB it was being built for a film but took too long, so they lashed up a T55 or something similar instead, so it was left in that state.

Re: Real or fake
Umm sounds about right, I wonder where it is now as it would be worth a tidy sum!
