One of Type 95 Ha-Go light tank wrecks was rebuild to running condition vehicle. More 50% of armor plates made from scratch, new built tracks, roadwheels, gun and another small details. Used GAZ-41 engine from BRDM-1 as a new engine, modern gearbox.

Vadim Elistratov, chief of rebuild team and Ha-Go driver.

Very nicely done. We used to have vintage tanks in the US but they went away....
