Victory Park - Moscow, Russia

These are great! The T34/76 is very rare beast in the West.

The half track is not an original Sdkfz 251 though, but is a Czech OT810.

Cheers, Ade.

OH NO! Not only am I buying fake German stuff, now I'm taking pictures of it!

Just kidding! I wondered if that was real. I'm no expert on telling them apart but to someone who knows, I've heard the differences are obvious.

And I do like T34/76's! Classic shape and much less common than the T34/85.

Not many of the T34/76 survived the Russian Battlefields to head to the west !!

Here are some photos of the diorama/paintings I talked about in the first post. It was hard to get good pictures of them because of their size. The curved painting are about 12-15 feet high and 40-50 feet long with the diorama in front of them.

Its still open and I've heard they have added alot more to it since I was there in 2001. It is now the center of the May 9 Victory Day celebrations in Moscow.

That's how I got over there. My employer sent me on a 3 month assignment to Moscow. I figured it might be my only chance to see that part of the world, especially on somebody else's nickle!
