    Default One for Ralph. Kubinka Panther being run.

    Hi Guys,

    Just saw this on another forum and was reminded that Ralph's dad used to serve in one of these beasts! So I thought I'd post it here for him and the membership to take a look at, assuming it hasn't been done already! Obviously it's not 100% original, some parts are missing, others replaced with modern parts and the paint in places may be a bit off, but let's not worry too much about that, at least it's a runner and that's what counts!!

    It certainly gives you a taste of what it was like to live and fight in such a claustrophobic space, and that's without the worry of being fired upon.... It surely must have took some guts and a cool head under extreme conditions that is hard to imagine these days.



    This Panther is one of two at the Kubinka Tank Museum, I believe both are runners, as are many other of their exhibits, which is a great credit to them.

    Regards, Ned.

    Haven't you heard??? The Ukrainian pro Russian rebel commander look is currently all the rage.

    Thank you Ned. The V is my favorite Panzer. It would have been nice to know what the guy was saying but this would not have been the first time I was looking at eyecandy and somebody was talking and I didn't hear a word they said. Yeah I'm married!!

    Awesome!!!!! Thanks again

    Very good. Thanks Ned. A late Ausf G.

    They have tried to make the presenter look like a wartime Soviet tanker.

    Cheers, Ade.

    Thumbs up

    Fascinating stuff !

    I can live with all the imperfections - it's a rare chance to see inside the Panther, and to hear it. Heck - the background even looks like the Eastern Front !

    Thanks for posting Ned!
    I have seen this video before but always enjoy seeing and hearing it another time. Now it has been saved somewhere that I can always go to see it again whenever I like.
    Can't imagine what it would have been like being in there with detonations and gun fire going off all around, rounds bouncing off the armor etc. I am sure that my father trained in a panzer IV, but he was also in the Panther and a Tiger later. One of them, he was the only to get out alive.
