strange tiger

i saw a page on int about the last running tiger with it original engine. after 64 years (it has ben captured by the british in tunisia in 1942) it still works and fire.

I saw the T34/Tiger on a low loader on the way home from work a few years back.

Looked pretty convincing.

exactly. there are a ton of them left from soviet times.

I also belive that there are other mock german tanks from british APC's. The 251 halftracks used by reenactors are almost czech versions of the 251. You can see it in this picture. The 251 in the backround does not have the storage boxes in the side of a German 251.

If you look around on the WWII reenactor sites, sometimes they will have pictures of there vehicles and the work they went through to make it look period.

the tracks can say something. the roadwheels appears to be russian, the germans used a diferent sistem.
