Tanks in Russia

Very nice pictures thanks for posting.

I love the Maus ! First time I've seen it sharp and in color

I wonder how it got in Russia though ? Wasn't this a prototype ?

 

Got stuck in the mud. German couldn't get it out, Soviets could.

 

mmmmm
according to my sources: :
on march 16,44 the driver of the maus, unfamiliar with the locale, drove into a swampy area that was avoided even by the light training tanks of armored replacement unit 7 in boblingen. by digging away the mass of mud piled up at the rear and laying down planks, it was possible to get the vehicle free under it's own powers

i could post some pics but my scanner is down, :roll:



this is how the russians found the maus!!!

 

Awesome photos
They kept me drooling for at least half hour!

Lovely pic's.

Panzeremechaniker, could you get photos of ammo storage, gun breech, gun cradle,floor of fighting compartment, cluch and engine in T-70 light tank? I'm building my second UM model and i want to build it with interior. For engine i will use 2 modified UM GAZ-AAA engines coupled but i need pic's of the mounting to the floor.

 

Hello TISO !

I now am ill and I can not give the full answer. But T-70 have a GAZ-202 engine. I'ts сonsisted of two six-cylinder motors, named GAZ-11 (ГАЗ-11).
GAZ-AAA motors is uncorrect.

 

Some update

Tank, in "History of T-34 tank" museum , in Sholohovo, has bin repair by plant number 112, and have some details from tanks , there was produced on this plant.
