Interesting video. I am not sure we could ever have that kind of capacity to manufacture tanks now like we did then?:confused:

thanks for sharing this. i enjoyed watching the video - it is so 'refreshing' to see how things were done back then. i was just surprised that nobody were smoking during those meetings in the boardrooms.

Very interesting video. Shame who ever put it in a digital format thought putting in slipping film frames would look good. All it did for me was to cause an unwanted distraction. Just wish the folks that put theses things out would just put out the product and not mess with it in a lame attempt to back date it.

That was terrific !!!!

I'm gonna build a 1/16 scale model of the scale model that they built at 4:57 minutes. :)

Hi Rex
Cool, must admit the thought occurred to me too. Looks a bit like a M4 Sherman turret on a M18 Hellcat hull?

I have watched that film 4 times and the model that is shown at 6:04. 6:05 and 6:06 is visual Viagra to me.

Nice find .... what scale would that be? It looks bigger than 1/16 .... more like 1/10th? --- 1/12th?
