In a video like this you can truly appreciate the whole mechanical poetry of the tank, and it takes a very special person to feel it, and awesome skill to pass it on "film". Cannot be faked, either you have it or you don't. Sofilein, Thank you!

I watched it again. This is still one of my favourite videos of yours. I feel like I'm there with you just taking it all in. All the rust & scratches, looking like it just rolled off the battlefield. I'm an artist and I love to draw & paint mechanical things. There is so much on that tank that's visually interesting. Not just as a whole, but so many small pieces that make it into what it is. I could spend several weeks alone just drawing it. I think they should keep it looking just like it does, it's beautiful.

Oh I really liked this walk around! The music, as usual was stellar and the close ups through that open port allowing an inside look was my favorite shot. Would have loved to have seen what was in that open grate at the back of the tank. Also kudos on getting through the narrow passage way going around to the front of the tank without bumping into anything and jarring the camera.

They are not identical though.. The Wespe suspension was beefed up but if you are building a Dragon kit then it has the correct one for Wespe but wrong for Pz. II

OK I need to seriously ask this. I was at Fort Benning a couple of years ago to see these awesome tanks but was told there is NO museum at all. That there was just garages with tanks and that access was not allowed. Yet I keep seeing people post pics of their successful visits to these "garages". Yet I am just allowed to see the few tanks at Patton Park. What is REALLY going on there? Is it just closed of to the public? If so how are people getting access? Why was I denied then? I traveled from FL to Georgia to see them. This is not just a 1,2,3 car ride. I live near Tampa and the distance to a bit long. We have VERY, VERY few museum's down here with tanks and those that are here, well at least the ones I have been too, have ZERO German tanks. It's frustrating to see people getting in but I am rejected.

It is also a light. It has reduced area of illumination for driving at night and still hopefully not attracting too much attention. Many call it a "Notech" light as that was one of the manufacturers.

intense! Love tanks! Hate how they ate people up. Particularly a Nazi tank. This type seems special. Not as heavily armed or armored, but a kind of pinnacle of terrible perfection in it's original meaning... an off road anti personnel/anti vehicle design. My dad's dad rode in one during ww2. Don't know what type or theater or position as he never talked about it. I don't think he rode in one because he liked them. It was a means to an end and the way home.
