At the US. Army Heritage center in PA.
They have a big annual "do" called Army Heritage Days every year & it attracts reenactments from a wide range of historical periods. There's usually a theme, & this years was "Tanks".
Lots of Armour, many operating tanks American, Canadian & German. I'll get some pics up tomorrow!
Initial Impressions the sound effects in 1/16 scale are way off. Far too much track clanking & squeaking.
