Post Amazingly Cool Pictures Of Tanks!

[williamp]

As a young boy I had the Action man remote control tank. He sat in the turret, and it fired plastc things with soft red ends at the cat/sister

It was great


Until I wanted to extend the range of the remote control, so I cut the wire betweem controller and tank...

The car is familiar to any Marham Track Day denizens

£120 for all 8 tanks, expensive I know but the Panzer III and IV models alone were £40 unbuilt.

ETA Sorry to hijack the thread.

Anybody know what this is? Was outside the Postojna caves in Slovenia. Is it anything of note?

From Strategypage.com, Sabot round:

Combining the cool planes and cool tanks threads, may I present the Antonov A40




And while searching for a photo of that I also found this, the Obyekt 279





However when it comes to anti-tank weapons, surely there's nothing cooler than the Vespa 150 TAP

The Czech Army Museum perhaps?

I thought this was supposed to be interesting pictures of tanks, not just models and static shots.

There are quite a lot of photos on this link - http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?f=14&am... - of the Aberdeen US Army Ordnance facility in the USA. Where they display a lot of Tanks, unfortunately with very little protection from the elements.

Yes. Quite interesting place, especially all of the cold war espionage gear like the gun in a video camera.

BTW, when you were in Prague, did you get asked if you wanted to see a midget shag a monkey? Maybe I misheard the man, but I'm pretty sure that's what he said.

Yep, That's definitely what he said - I checked with some others who were there. He also mentioned a suitcase apparently.
