Der Panzerbaer:

This website is for model builders, featuring a huge database of photos of individual vehicles.

http://www.panzerbaer.de/types/index.htm

Often demanded: detailed camouflage patterns of nations and vehicles are listed under "Tarnschemen".

Also of interest: tables of force structures listed under "Gliederungen"



Panzer-Modell:

Another site for model builders. Check the site for various places where they have hidden their good stuff, especially plenty of detail-photogrpahy on individual vehicles, mainly German, here: left menu -> References -> main screen: InDetail

The Royal Australian Armoured Corps Tank Museum has a special place for me, I worked there in the early 1980's and my last job was to prepare and deliver the M113A1 - Fire Support Vehicle (with Saladin Turret) in 1994

I hope you all enjoy

The museum now has over 70 Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFVs), both wheeled and tracked. Vehicles on display have their origins in Australia, Britain, US, Canada, Japan, Russia, Germany and China.

The Muckleburgh Collection, UK

is pretty impressive for a privately owned museum - and it has live demos too!

Was hoping to visit again last week, but some things don't go to plan :wah:
