new sherman skin possably?

[Treize69]

When I was at Knox in the late '90's, one of the Shermans they had on static display away from the museum had that paintjob. Used to love just wandering around and seeing what I'd find at intersections and in front of buildings, one hell of a collection.

Was a great museum.  They have removed all of the tanks and that portion of the museum closed in September.  The entire tank collection is being trucked down to Georgia where in a few years a new museum will be built for Tanks and Cavalry, right next door to an Infantry Museum.  The base relocation and closing program is to blame.  They are consolidating all training.

Aww went to high school at Fort Knox and loved going to the museum in the summer. Such a terrible loss.  I cant believe people would spray paint the tanks that is weak.

Coming from Louisville to Fort Knox I always though it was awesome to pass those two tanks up on pedestals on either side of the highway.

when i went there 4 yrs ago i had bad eyesight and no classes, so it was hard for me to see paintjobs/etc on the tanks from a distance, but i had no trouble finding this bad boy

well, why we are on this topic! i put up a post on the wishlist thread wishing for help

I was watching weaponology on tanks, and there was a tank rolling through a city and had the words 'bellowing squeak' on its turret, I cant find anything on it! it would look really cool!

Only one left IIRC.  It was rusting in the backwoods at FT Knox when they found it.

I have pics from there at my website..

They hit it with an M-60 if I remember correctly. I mean literally hit it. As in ran into it at running speed. Nobody knew it was there, thought it was just a clump of bushes. It had sat on a back range overgrown and forgotten for 40 years after they realized it was too big to transport by ship or rail and would never be deployed even if it was put into production.
