Hi Guys

Does anyone know the true location of the KV1 ariel (either captured or russian) as the tank is about to be taken apart for a bit of modification

Ok,just enlarged the pic and that is the ariel,,just tried it on the pimple that sticks up there on mine and there is the small issue of not being able to rotate the turret or having the tip of the ariel in the next room lol
