Cannot recall seeing an 'ISU-152 rocket launcher' though...

I don't know the exact name, as far as I can see it's a R-11 on a Stalin chassis.
There are two rocket launchers in the Museum, one on PT-76 chassis and another one on the JS chassis. While I am not an expert on soviet AFVs, I can see the difference among the two

I was surprised Doug missed the heavy launcher, and now you are telling us you missed it too (it's missing from Rafal's PDF as well). I would guess it was added later on. I visited the place on July 18th.

Didn't miss it - I was thrown by the description and thought I had actually missed something..

Let's move to the TR-580. I have two big scoops here Cool

First scoop, s/n is: 79 05 102

Second,most important scoop! We finally know why they keep that shrubbery around the tanks. It's to hide the tomato and zucchini they plant during the good season! If you look behind the tank you can see the vegetables Laughing

I visited the Museum just a few days ago. Doug suggested to append my pictures to this topic, so that we keep the discussion centralized.

Here is the modified T-55:

The shrubbery looks better in my pics, but Massimo got better pics of them Russki tanks. Wink

Dear Massimo
I'd really like to see more pictures of the Romanian T55, and its variants, I think I see a TR580?
Thanks for looking
Best Wishes
Tim

More shots will follow, it just takes time to post-process all the RAW files. If you are looking for a specific subject, feel free to ask and I'll see if I have it covered.

The Service Truck interior, '09. Better access for pictures, but mainly because it's deteriorating before our very eyes in the out-of-doors (especially being of a wooden van construction) so there is better access for more clear photos.

Seems like a better place to have been in the Winter time.

The drill press...

Just got in the images of the artillery exhibits at the military museum from my contact in Bucharest.

Have to admit there is stuff there that I cannot recognise Crying or Very sad

I'll post some when I get chance to reduce them a little.

Cool
