One guy who has the repainted T 34/76 captured by the germans and the whole kollection of guns, parts of airplanes etc... took it to his museum. Recently after the founding of a gun he was on that place with the special device trying to find more parts from the IS-2, but no results, only gun.

Hello Paul, glad to see you. I don't know actually, there's one problem that on the original turret is german paint with the balken croitz and russian inscription " For the Soviet Estonia "under. So that he don't want to put the turret on the tank. It is becouse he want to use it for re-enect. But recently he bought another turret (fron Saaremaa island) with originall soviet paint. He want to use it for tank, and original turret to use only for exgibition.
