#1: T-34 question Author: Dennis_Smith, Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 7:20 pm ---- Most T-34's on display have white trimmed road wheels. Most other models of tanks on display don't have the white trim.
Is this a tradition honoring T-34's?
I also see some artillery displayed with white tires.
Thanks for your help

I'm not a Russian Armor expert, but I've seen the white wheels on a variety of different Russian "May Day" parade vehicles in Moscow as well. I think they paint them to stand out, and they surely do! I'm also curious as to the reason behind painting wheels white, so hopefully one of our Russian Members can help. Sincerely, Rick

I think other technics also should be often painted so.
