That's quite the museum, if I've got the right Link.... [link=http://tanksinmoscow.ru/index_02.htm]Tanks in Moscow[/link]. Wasn't the Littlefield Panther originally a wreck dragged out of a Polish River?

Yes, it was pulled from a river in Poland by a German business man in 1992 I believe and then purchased by Littllefield sometime after.

That is simply beautiful!

Are these the same guys that built a Sherman with two buy cutting the Shermans in half and assembling the good halves together?

I think you're right! At least, they were both shown on Tank Overhaul (I love that show!).

Jacque Littlefield's guys were not the ones who cut and welded two Shermans together.

He does have quite a collection. Here are just a few shots..... There are many more shots out there on the web, including some on the S.C.A.T. website (look for the BAT battle days)

Default RE: Jacques Panther

Hello, new on here as a member, but have been paying attention to this site for over a year. I have three Heng longs, the Panther, Tiger and PanzerKampfwagen III. The things that the people on this site do is incredible and I wish I had the time and talent to half as much. Anyways, the thing that amazes me, is the fact that it takes individuals to finance our history and our goverments seem to be more worried about the sex life of a frog or something trivial, sorry I know alot of people like frogs!!!
It just seems that what Jacques has done, should be done by our goverment, by the way I live in the states and right now we are bailing out anybody and everybody, why can't we restore some old vehicles, so that our children can actually hear and see what they were really like?
