IS-2 restoration (Lesany museum)
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.

Post subject: IS-2 restoration (Lesany museum)

As some of you probably know, one of the IS-2's, from the collection of Military Technical Museum in Lešany, Czech Republic, has been in reconstruction for some time now. Well, it seems that work is finally done as VHÚ posted a nice short article about it (only in Czech though) on their website. It's one of the early IS-2s, originaly designated as IS-122, or more recently labeled as IS-2 model 1943. It's in running condition and will be presented at this years Tank Day in the museum next week. Oh and there's plenty of photos in the article mentioned above, some of which I'm posting below:

interior before start of the renovation:

driver seat after renovation:

engine installation:

the mentioned article with more pics:

edit: hmm, there's something wrong with some of the picture captions

Do they need any documentation? I have some operation manual, parts catalogue etc. Also - do they found serial number of this tank?
