Tanks a Lot! Very awesome indeed! Wonderful that these are being restored by private groups since so many museums are selling off our history . . . thanks!
Thats cool. Would like to see a modeling 1/72 scale
I have a PANHARD French AC in 1/72 by a company Skala. I think it is a Polish company and on the box the have models of a FT-17. They may have a 1/72 of this one. Don't remember where I bought this.
An internet search found these in 1:76 or 1:72 scale.
Darell not sure what 1/72 you are into but check out HOBBYLINC. I was just looking and they have so many military vehicles in this scale.
The Revell is a reprint of the old Matchbox models. My British unit was 3 ESCI (1/72) Shermans and 1 matchbox (1/76) Firefly X3 for a squadron.
Thanks for those great photos of that original Tank.
Nice little WW I tank.
Next year I'm going to Saumur/France for two weeks. They have a great tank museum and a lot of stuff that still can drive.
Voilą le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Great posting!
The show was great because of the number of vehicles there. To see some of them run was another treat. Here are a few more photos.
Flame thrower demo. Actual WWII flame thrower
A LEGO model of the USS Missouri.
Marines assaulting a Japanese position. The LVT ran up to the position. There is a Sherman behind the LVT giving support fire.
Great pics Bob!!
Great pictures, Bob!
Wait for next weekends photos. Hopefully there will planes in them.
Such cool stuff in your neck of the woods, Bob! I look forward to your continuing coverage...
All the best,
Matt
Incredible story of this particular tank.
This is one of 120 tanks of that type used in Polish Army in twenties, particularly in Polish-Soviet War 1920.
It was found by Polish Army Continget in Afghanistan.
Historians state this vehicle was captured by the Soviets during the 1920 war and was presented in 1923 to Afghan Emir.
In 2013 thanks to Afghan President Kharzaj it was returned to Poland (above with our former President) and completely renovated.
Now it takes part in many official ceremonies and parades.
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Hope you don't loose it again to the Russian, Andrzej.
What about a 120 mm Rheinmetall upgrade?
Voilą le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Great story about that tank Andy. Glad to see it back where it belongs.
Well nothing on this weekend cruise because of the bad weather the cruise was cancelled so no aircraft pics this year.
Sam you should check their site out for next year. Not that far of a ride for you.
