New visit at the Normandy Tank Museum near Carentan
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

sorry but I didn't take any new picture of the Panzer IV, as it is now in a darker place than before. The museum now displays 2 LVT-4s and a Daimler Dingo.

Here is a Fisher-built M4A2 which is restored to running condition, I saw it yesterday but didn't take any picture myself :

Where did they find factory-fresh looking tracks? the look brand new. Refurbish or someone actually make them? _________________ Guy

Wow! Come to think about it, I saw many trackless Shermans on some webpages so I hope that someone thinks about buying some sets to complete some Shermans because without them they look silly. guy _________________ Guy

yes but these new tracks are expensive, you could easily buy a nice car for the price of this pair of tracks.. _________________ soldat_ryan @ hotmail.com Looking for photos of Sherman manufacturer's plates
