Very impressive corrosion there, almost as if the tank had been abandoned by the sea. Had the Russians never heard of 'Kurust'? Tried, but failed to translate the name on the tank..looks a bit like 'Stalin'.. or 'Stadkna?'. My T34 came with 'CYBOPOB' (trans: 'Suvorov') on it, but written in Cyrillic...Nice job there :thumbup:

Excellent. I've been doing it for years and would have a hard time matching your skill.

Looks like that T-34 has been to hell and back, or maybe just to Berlin. Really inspirational work!

"?? ???????" is "for Stalin". From what I've seen, it's probably the second-most popular slogan after "?? ??????!" ("for the motherland!").
