I would love to see more photos of this vehicle. I have an old RPM TKS kit, but I never could find very good photos of it to do the little kit justice.

Rob - regrettably I didn't take more photos of the TKS... But I found an article by the Museum for you, maybe it will help:

If you need more photos I can try to take them next time im at the museum, but I don't know when this would be...

Good luck with your TKS kit and have a nice day

You Know!

 I got to thinking Pawel;

 That seventh vehicle would make a heckuva off road workshop too. Especially in a Construction or Research capacity! When we were in China(members of the National geographic Fossil Research support group).We could've used one. We still found The "feathered Mini Dinosaur" Archeopterex though!

Here's an original TKS - found in Norway and restored. One of the 4 left.

Tanker,

Thanks for the heads up!  There are so many memorials and museums to American history and culture all across this nation. I felt that I had to point iit out.

Orginally it was H version, later it had changed the turret to N version.
It was used as a bunker in Oslo after war. Now it`s in running conditions.

I cooperate with the Museum and painted historical sings and numbers on some tanks, if You are interested  my step by step welcome to my website

Gamera,

We are. Visit the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA, the USS Constitution in Boston, Mystic Seaport in Mystic, CT, and many others throughout the US. It's there for anyone who is interested.

Pawel,

Thank you for sharing your photos of a great museum!  I wish there was more of the great Polish vistory over the Soviets.

And my thanks. Sorry I mispoke. I was more questioning the moving of all the armour from the George. S. Patton Armor Museum to Fort Benning, Ga. I'm looking online now and it seems that the building is under construction. So the collection been warehoused for about a decade now but is going to be back on display in a few years.  

Pawel, those are some great photos! Thanks for posting them on here. I'm pretty sure that the Panzer III is a N variant, and not an A, as it has looks to be armed with the short 75mm howitzer, and not the original 37mm gun. That museum looks to have a great collection.

Pawel, that is a really cool museum you have available. I'm sure I could spend all day there, like I usually do in museums.

Don't forget the submarine museum in Groton, CT. They have the Nautilus, SSN 571, also.

Pawel!

     Very nice pics of some equipment I have models of or similar too! Oh! Thanks also for the photo of the Very nice looking lady. Polish Women can be very pretty! I know this from growing up in a combined German/Polish/Sicilian neighborhood. Whatta mix ? right. I just wish I had paid more attention to the home tongues. For speaking! I would've had a leg up when I went in the Navy!

Hey, Bill!

       You don't want to forget the Wiscosin/Nauticus muesum in Norfolk. Besides if you do go there, You'll see some of my Brass work. All over the model of the "Whisky" ! It was an Honor to be part of her Birth and installation there by B.A.D. Shipmodels!

     And this for Pawel! Thank you kind sir for those photos. I see more of why I have to get it together!

Awesome Pawel!!!

Thanks for the photos, I wish we were as good about preserving our history here!

Hello everybody!

A year has passed and the 15th of August holiday came again, and again I went to our Armor Museum in Poznań to take a look. Lots of people attended, among them also many nice looking women - they are very special, mostly ones that like guys who like tanks...

But I didn't dare to take fotos of them, instead I photographed some military vehicles for you. I'm glad to say that their collection is steadily expanding. Their newest arrival is a Hanomag Sdkfz 251 ausf. D, it's currently being restored so I don't have a photo. Bu they have a Kettenkrad in a running condition - how cool is that?

Drop me a line if you want to see my mini-walk-around of it.

There is also a PzKpfw III Ausf A, I also took a few more photos - it's also in running condition.

Another new arrival - Centurion Mk.5/2. I heard rumors, that this is going to be restored in Israeli colours. I think I'd rather they leave it in its current colour, just restore it.

A Canadian Ford used to carry the visitors around:

Ex-Norwegian M88A1:

Something for HevyArty - a 2S7 Pion 203mm (8 inch) howitzer:

Mobile battery charging station on a Star 66 chassis - those Polish trucks were also exported to Vietnam and used to carry stuff along the Ho-Chi-Minh trail:

T34 - diagram:

A T-55 engine:

An UAZ-469 truck with a recoilless rifle, used by Polish airborne troops:

I hope you liked my photos - thanks for lookin' and have a nice day

Great pics - thanks for sharing.  And who is the gorgeous girl by the halftrack? 

One of my relatives married a woman from Poland - when I first met her, I thought she looked like Deborah Harry from Blondie.  

When I saw their infant son for the first time, I thought he looked like a Soviet Cosmonaut!    But a happy Soviet Cosmonaut.

Brilliant!

Thanks for posting these photos.

Oh wow Pawel! Great to see them preserved so well. Beautiful stuff! 

Thanks for sharing with us!!! 

You will be making Nicholas Moran jealous.

Yes! Those are great photos and some real rare items too.

And congratulations on not being a socialist country anymore and happy national holiday!

Hello!

I'm glad you like the pics... Got some more, maybe I'll post them.

And John - we've got lots of nice women here in Poland - this one next to the half track just got into the frame... One more reason to visit! :-)

Thanks again for lookin' and have a nice day

Paweł

Thanks for sharing these photos with us Pawel! They look great! 

Heartily second that!

Thanks for sharing these photos with us Pawel! They look great! 

That's really a nice collection. Good thing the Army could pay to keep the vehicles up.

If I ever get to Poznan I'll look you  up first.

Marshall Pilsudski is an important historic figure.

Dzieki!
