I have the Japanese magazine in which the model appears and the technique in making the pic...they also showed how they "shopped" JS III's into Battle for Berlin pics, etc...

That photo may be a fake, but supposedly a modification like that existed. A conversion was reportedly done by Kampfgruppe Kienast in Saxony in 1945, 88mm Flak 36 gun mounted on a modified T-34/76 chassis.

Hi,Mark.

This is Fitz, the Japanese.
This pictures is, as already told, photoshoped.

The origin of this picture is Japanese modelling magazine "Armor modelling" issue Aug/2007.
The issue contains lots of "Fake panzers" pictures and all of them are very nicely photoshoped.

The tank in this picture is built by Hisato Shinohara. His other works can be seen in his web site.

Hello all,

Once I talked to an old man in Germany. Very nice guy. And he served in SS during WWII, in an anti-tank unit. He told me how they converted a captured T-34 with a compartment and a PAK mounted in place of the turret. There was even a motto painted over the cannon port on the inside (I have it taken down if anybody is interested). He also told me about how they knocked out a T-34, the russians towed it away during the nighttime after several hours the tank would be back just to be knocked out again. By the way, there were so many cool conversions you will never be able to mdel exactly...

Best greeting and have a nice day

Pawel
