OT-34 recovered from swamp
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.

Hi Taranov! Hi Folks! Super! I am starting to like swamps! Looks like they do a good job of protecting old tanks for today's displays! Sgt, Scouts Out! _________________ "You can never have too much reconnaissance." General G.S. Patton Jr.

Why did they change the road wheels? Is that what they mean when the photo caption states that the tank received "new wings and tracks"? Shocked
