May be old news - T34
But I'd thought I'd post them anyway do let you know I wasnt idle with the Camera at Corowa.
As a kid I'd always heard the stories that made the T34 such a legendary tank. I built a model and watched documentaries on it and thought that would be about as close as I would ever come to one. Imagine my delight walking into Bandiana army musuem & seeing this. I wasnt at the Armoured vehicle Corowa but apparently this tank was there. Anyway - some pictures - couldnt find any threads with T34 in the title either.

And more
Interesting to note the roughness of the casting in the turret. The Russians obviously punched them out in a hurry.
Which is no surprise considering the Nazi's got within 180 miles of Moscow within 2 weeks of launching operation Barbarossa. The picture actually doesnt do it justice - it is really rough. Despite this the tank actually has quite nice lines.

Err...... No
I did plead ignorance.........so no Keefy
 Interesting to see this has the later 85mm gun with the two turret hatches, what the Germans called the 'Mickey Mouse'. The classic one I like has the earlier gun & is distinctive where the gun meets the turret.

I think I'll have to rectify that when I come to Temora in about three weeks.
