Massimo,

there is also a new Panzer IV :

Bovington Tank Museum says :
"The wreck of this tank was found on the Finnish/Russian border where it has lain since its destruction as a result of combat or self-destruction on abandonment by the crew. An explosion in its ammunition storage area had ripped through the interior of the tank, and when the tank was discovered its condition was described as `distressed`"

I just can't believe they made a brand new tank (and a runner !!) from this very damaged wreck... any guess?

Another ex-iraqui tank looking for proper id:

Massimo

Isn't this the T-55AD according to the museum site? Is this a T-54 (See ventilator on turret) which is rebuilt to T-55 when in Poland and then delivered to Iraq or a normal T-54 which is disposed to Iraq after active duty in Poland?

regards

This one was very popular soon after the first Gulf War (even among scale modelers). Now it's in the reserve collection. Looking forward for a proper id:

Massimo

I would say, T-55 Enigma.
