Kubinka Panther Testdrive
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.

Here's a couple of photos I took a couple of years ago. Kind of a front-right shot and another with the Panther II in the background. The Patton museum isn't really laid out well (nor well lighted) for photos.

Improvements to the various display areas have taken a front seat. The lighting issue is being gradually improved.

One question : is the Fort Knox Panther II in running condition too?
And by the way, do somebody have some nice photos of it, a front-left or front-right picture would be much appreciated. I have some pictures of this Panther II, but only front views, so we can't see the tracks wheels, which are particular on this model.
Cheers,
Pierre-Olivier

The Panther II was restored back in the 70's-80's to operational condition. It was used in a number of 'Drive-By' events. I've heard a number of reasons for parking 'her'. But 'she' has been on display in her current location for long time. Interior wise she is decently 'functional'.

I've got to go by tomorrow, and will take camera and get some 'new' shots for you.

Somehow this videosnippet has slipped under my radar until now. So the Kubinka Panther is running since March this year, now if they could only do something about that horrible paintjob (it is supposed to be accurate???)
