Thanks for the tip tanker 242. Along those lines, I purchased the movie" White Tiger" off of Ebay the other day.

Joe,
You will enjoy the real Soviet armor shown and the lend lease wrecks and the PZ IV. The 'White Tiger', not so much. The Film Company paid out a mint for a 1/1 replica of a Tiger 1 for the film but it wasn't ready in time. Here is a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlv6iuLT6-s The movie itself is very good and quite watchable.
regards,
Painless

The PZIV shown (combat scene) in White Tiger is on a T-54 (T-55?) chassis. There is a PZIV wreck though. Still, very good replica! A lot of movie replica tanks look like crap (i.e. The Saving Private Ryan Tiger). They did a great job with White Tiger! Everything is pretty close!

The rest of the tanks in White Tiger are great! There are a TON of models.

Matilda, M3 Lee, Multiple T34 models, IS-2, IS-152, SU-100, BT-7

Some Pak38s, Pak40, ZiS-3 wheeled gun, and a ton of authentic firearms as well.

A shame they didn't use that custom built Tiger for the film, instead using that IS chassis fake.
