Selection of Photos from The Munster Armour Museum
« on: October 04, 2003, 11:33:52 AM »
These ar Jpegs knocked WAAAAAY down and there are more in my collection on Saw's site.  If anyone wants hi res originals just mail me.  Originals are 2048 X something in lots of colours.  They are a bit grainy but the light was bad an the flash couldn't really cope.  Anyway here we go.......


This is a mortar of some kind which was HUGE - think name starts Sturm.... but I can't find it in my notes.



This is a picture of the front armour thickness - 6 inches !!



The Inevitable Tigers :)
Tiger 1


Tiger 2


A Hummel - Very Impressive


The Panzers

A III Auf M


A IV Auf G



There are lots more - Russian and even First world War.

Hey Sparks, they're really cool, any chance of posting some at around 1024x768 - 1280x1024? :)

Did they have a Panther (PnzrV) at all?  PnzrIV Auf H?

Would love to have a look inside them, only WW2 tank I've been in is a JS2.

Combat tracks may not be complete.  Just a guess.

Maybe thats why they are hidden partly under the tank itself.
