And what of the original commander and its loss? Be assured the markings are dead accurate.
Also in a country's arsenal and you should look behind Richard F's excellent humour. . . . . . . . . . .

O.K., hang on a sec. You're telling me that a 1960's vintage British turret on a 1950's vintage Russian hull with 1940's vintage German markings is kosher!?! Exactly which country had this vehicle, as shown in the picture? The National Socialist Royal Union of Bolshevik Imperialist Europe? I guess the King's English and American English have drifted farther apart than I thought. I used to know what the word "authenticity" meant.
