Heavy AFV info (T34)
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.

My favorite family of heavy tanks. Keep your T-28, that's just armor pron, but these could have happened. And they look like tanks.

Thanks for the confirmation Don! You can see the same tank in Hunnicutt, Firepower, page 98. Neil

And it's at this point that I'd like to introduce a petition compelling Neil to circulate his copy to the membership at large on a rotating basis for everyone to see these pictures. It will, of course, be returned....eventually, I feel sure. Wink

I call first dibs, since Bob has a copy, an' it was my idea an' stuff. Mr. Green

I'll see about finding some 'original' old source photos and match them up to the data plate. Besides, I guess I can add them to the historical record since the SN is verified. BTW: The Data plate was on the left side hull wall next to the drivers seat, Just above the drivers escape hatch opening. Now I need to try and get into the T28 for that data plate!! Don
