running ww2 tanks

Hi Fellas
              just wanted to share a few pics of Ausarmourfest staged in Cairns in the state of Queensland Australia last weekend. Things were not as big as usual because of covid but the sight, sounds and smells of cold war and ww2 armour running is just awesome. All the best  Paul

Thanks for sharing....had no idea these vehicles were there!

Are all these AFVs actually in Australia or have they been shipped there at great expense? Either way, you are very lucky to have seen them. Great post.

Hi Fitzy

                 These are all shipped to Australia. The gentleman who owns the Museum is a successful businessman who is passionate about WW2 and cold war armour. In particular WW2 German tanks are his real love. They are re building a Tiger (a real battle damaged one not a replica)and a Stug 3 at the moment. His collection of Soviet German and Allied WW2 tanks as well as the cold war armour is excellent. Hope I am not boring you but these are some more pics from that day.

                                                                                                                                   Regards Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the extra pictures. Very interesting. Amazing how many he has up and running. I take it the displayed Tiger I is some sort of fake model?

Hi Fitzy

             It was used in movies and I can't remember if it was saving private Ryan or something else. I don't think it was Fury. One of the sets from Fury is on display there. What's even better is the rebuild of a real Tiger which is in progress.
