A Day at the Museum
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Post subject: A Day at the Museum

Spent the most of today at the Museum trying to get some 'work' done.

The Director had other ideas and I was 'volunteered' to doing some Tank 'dressing out'. Todays focus was the Tiger II.

Due to my 'tanker build', I was 'enlisted' to do some interior adjustments to the Tiger II. Primarily we added some dummy round supports on the cutaway side of the ammo storage area to keep the shells from rolling around.

Here are a few shots taken, showing that although a large tank, the interior of the Tiger II is abit cramped.

Regards
Don

I sort of mentioned something along those same lines when we were opening the Tiger II up,..... AND thats when I got selected to help out! (actually it was part of my 'master' plan, since I love crawling around in the 'belly of the Tiger') Its one of those things that not too many people can say thay have done. Regards Don
