Anyone else have requests? Got all kinds of stuff here.

Any M60 Patton's you got?

I didn't have time to get the "Starship" version.

Thanks

I'll get the crazy, missile firing one next time I'm there...if I have time and remember, hahaha.

What are the bags on the back of the turret? Just sandbags? And is the place they are standing in expecially made for putting (sand)bags there? if yes, why?

They are waterproof bags filled with what-have-you. Tools, spare parts, personal effects. No special features are on the M-60 that allow it to be fitted with sandbags.

Cuz Von Mudra wanted to see it. Sight for the PaK. 40. Had to wait all day for the lighting not to completely suck.

Request line is still open.

Saw M103 and IS3 on the list. Much appreciated

Ah yes, two of the most important tanks in the tour! I will go a-photographing next Saturday.

Actually, there is this one fella who did a much better walkaround than I could hope to accomplish on the M103. Aside from his WoT work, he has also been a tour guide at the museum for 10 years. It's in multiple parts that are separated by subject.

If you want specifics that aren't gone over in the videos, let me know. This will free up time to photograph the IS-3. I might even have time to photograph the grungy interior.

Nice, tx for the video. They don't show these on the EU forums. Only request I have is the suspension of the IS3 up close. The interior is always nice ofc

It's has torsion bar suspension, so there won't be much to see on the outside. I will see if the bars can be viewed from the fighting compartment.

See what you can do but you don't have to go all out and spend much time on this request though. It is more out of general interest and the stories I heard about the IS3's suspension breaking down a lot .

The request line is open in part because I run out of ideas for what to look at. I have nearly limitless access to this collection, so it's no trouble at all.

Upon examination of the suspension, the arms seem a bit long for a tank of that period. I can see some possible problems that could have emerged from this particular configuration.

@ Kading
Sorry, I did not read throguh all the pages but I've heard you had access to this tank collection? There are Russian and American tanks of wich eras? Other countries too? Sorry for all the questions but I would like to see more of your great pictures. Really appreciate those.
