This would be great! Was that when it was sitting next to the King Tiger? Do you remember seeing the previous turret numbers sticking through the paint underneath the 712?
The second photograph shows the tank in what appears to be 2 different colors. I know it'd been through a lot and could have been previous colors bleeding through at that point.
Do you know what kind and year car that is in the background? I used to know, memory is going quick!
