Thank you all for the nice comments. :armata_PDT_37:

I hope I'll be able to show my second display soon too (although this might take a while).

 

Marion, I saw some female mannequins who were like this one ..... ok, let's not go there.

Anyway, they would be perfect for ARC (American Red Cross display) or so.

 

Fighting inside a WWII tank was indeed very hard and dirty.

Not to mention the smell of fumes, body odors, etc.

Depending what type of tank you had, it could easily turn into a blazing inferno when hit.

 

A funny thing my friend in the 704th TD told me ..... in England while on maneuvers, an M-10 TD took a corner off a house in a typical small English street.

My friend almost rolled out of his TD laughing when he saw a very old lady chasing that TD with her broomstick.

 

I miss that guy so much.
