AAF Tank Museum visit (1 Viewer)

[Captain]

My buddy and I after threatening for months to visit this tank museum in Danville Va. finally went today. they had mostly American armor naturally but, therre was a couple of other things in there as well. I only took pics of the WWII era tanks. We had a great time and here a couple of teaser shots;

This is a Sherman w/ plow and supposed to be the only one of this particular version to exist

My favorite, the Stuart tank

Here a couple more pics; a PAK40 and a T-34 squashing a German soldier;

They dont allow flash photos in this place so some of the shots are a little rough. Here's another;

Pretty cool. Thanks for the pics. If I recall correctly, Danville is mid state, right?

 

[Captain]

Mid-state but extremely south near the N.C. line

Here's an early american tank. It sure does look like that French Renault.

 

[Louis Badolato]

It is a French Renault. During WWI we bought French Tanks, we didn't make our own. Great Photos by the way!

 

[Captain]

Thanks Louis, that would explain it.

ONTC has come out with Renaults, both French and American versions.

Here's the US version. Both are available from Treefrog or Minuteman Toy Soldiers.
