New arrivals at the AHM

[Tieleader]

Couple new donations. A small Bosche generator from a Tiger tank and a Japanese observation scope.
Also found out we're getting a fifth Sherman tank from the Marines, a second M5 Stuart tank and a British Marmon Harrington armored car. The Fw-190F and Rosie are described as "imminent" in delivery.

Good shots!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very cool!

 

[Tieleader]

Bit of an update. Alas the Sherman and Stuart are a no go. The Marmon and a/c and still a go. The Wulf is ready to have paint put on it.

Our 75mm Sherman, one of them anyways, is undergoing an overdue interior restoration to make her presentable for the tank driving school. If any of you saw the James Garner movie "Tank" this is the star. I'm told she is also in about seven frames of the "Blue Brothers" movie as well. If you've ever wondered what a gutted Sherman looks like wonder no more!
Okay, technically not a new arrival but I thought it interesting enough to share...
I'll post the finished project later!

Our F6F-3 N 'cat showed up from hiding at Worcester airport. A tremendously roomy cockpit to sit in unlike our Bf 109 ! They're still working on getting the proper radar radome. The P-40B that was at Pearl Harbor on the day is scheduled to show up in a couple weeks hopefully.

You mean the BMW 801 in the pixs?

Yes.

 

[Tieleader]

Yes.

off a Junkers Ju-188. Don't know where they got it from.

Our Pearl Harbor P-40B showed up this week. I don't have a full walk around under sunlight so you'll have to use your imagination on the colors. No I don't know where the engine came from. Not the best photographer but I did the best I could under the lighting conditions.

Nice. Is this the airworthy example, that used to be based at Duxford, UK ?
