I think it's a great idea for a thread! I will share pics of a couple of the early ones. A British Mark IV, and a French Schneider CA-1.
Needless to say the teachers were NOT happy with us and we spent the rest of the day cleaning up the mess we had made and then writing letters of apology to General Patton who the teacher nor us for that matter knew was long since dead.
This is in a park in Linton Indiana. Don't know anything about it.
It looks to be an M48 Patton, the 3rd generation of the Patton line. You can tell by the turret shape and the commander turret/copula.
It's an M60. The give away is the flat glacis plate on the hull. The M48 had a rounded glacis. 105mm gun and a tight fire control system in my experience. The turret is basically an M48A5 on the new M60 chassis. The redesigned armor was created to help defeat advancing armor piercing rounds.
These are some very nice pics, what museum are they from? WW1 armor is very rare to find surviving pieces. I know that the Indiana Military Museum in Vincennes, IN has a display of the German A7V.
BTW, The Indiana Military Museum is a great place to visit is you enjoy that kinda thing, they have tanks and vehicles galore.
I have a couple of pics from my travels in my collection. One tank and one tracked AA vehicle. No idea what kind they are.
Can anybody guess where these are?
