Ity is not the german quality, just the conditions under which the tank was preserved. If you put an item into a swamp or on the bottom of the river, the quality of the item will last for years. Just conditions...Nothing more...

Here we have a similarly preserved armored vehicle (will be pristine after cleaning) and one that was a German war trophy.

And updates about the tank's progress:

116 rounds found on board!

Oh, and for Stern: How about Russian quality.

I like the T34-85, because he was simple constructed but really dependable !

Status: online 		I could offer that russian a few thousand I bet he would sell it...but I'm sure it would cost more money to shipped it over here to the US then I would have the problem of getting it licesened and paqss inspection and I'm sure must carry some special permitt to drive on the streets ;-)


Man that would be fun to have your own tank to drive around!
