U.S. Heavy Tanks
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.

Thanks, Don.... Put me down for a T29 with the Eddie Bauer Ltd. package and a laser rangefinder. In O.D. with white stars, please. Much obliged... _________________ "All facts go to clearly prove that Shades is a thrice-cursed traitor & mentally deranged person steeped in inveterate enmity toward mankind"

I'm working on the T28, T32, T34, T43E1, T43E2, M103, M103A1, M103A2 just to mention 'a few'. I'll post the compiled stuff, once I catch up. A little patience goes a long way. Note: I'm trying this without the assistance of the printed media, so there is a fairly decent level of personal discovery currently ongoing. Tanks A Lot Don

- JeffStringer Oops, sorry. Didn't know I was being impatient. No biggie. My mistake by forgetting how 'demanding' select members of the C.I.A. 'rank & file' can be. I hope my additional 'products' will provide some previously unreleased images or information. I do have a cache to 'DRAW' from..... Regards Don
