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.

I finally got around to watching the "Tali-Ihantala 1944" movie the other night and ... wow! They've (the prop-masters and director) really made an effort to make this movie as close to the real deal as possible. The movie is available for mail-order on DVD (Region 2) with English subtitles, I really recommend it!

For info on the Tali-Ihantala battle and Finn overall defensive victory see following links:

Some pictures:

Soviet armor on the move.

A T-34/76 and a KV-1 vismod (T-55 hull, I've got more of this one if you want them):

A SU-152 vismod (T-55 hull again):

Nice pics and looks like an interesting film. Rikard, I would ask that you start a second (or third, if necessary) thread and move some of these pictures to that (those) threads. Admins has a policy of keeping picture postings to a maximum of 10 per out of consideration for those on slower connections. Picture Posting Policy Thanks for your cooperation!

'Preciate it, Rikard. It's easy to forget when one has a nice set of images and want to share. Looks like an impressive production. D.
