Default Armor near Harrisburg-there's Tigers in them hills
Saw these on the west side of RT15 just south of Harrisburg, PA. My spousal unit throught I lost it when I slammed on the brakes.

The 'Tiger' is actually what appears to be a T34 mock up of a Tiger. It maybe one of the tanks used on Saving Private Ryan.

The SdKfz-251 /1 Ausf D is probably a OT-810. There was a second halftrack that looked like a SdKfz-251/9 Ausf D. I think it also is a converted OT810.

There were also some Opel Blitz trucks, a 105mm leFH18, and a 20 mm Flak 38.

Anyone on the website own these items???

Yep, it's an equipment dealer south of Dillsburg, between Mechanicsburg/Camp Hill and Gettysburg. Seems like a couple of years ago the armor started appearing. Used to drive by there a few times a week.

A Tiger I is actually quite a bit bigger than a T34. If not mistaken a T-34 is 9ft wide and a Tiger I is over 11ft wide. For a movie its pretty good.

A Konig's Tiger is over 12ft. wide! No wonder they needed transport tracks.

For anyone interested, just search on GOOGLE VIDEO or YOUTUBE on "Panther" or "Tiger tank" or "King Tiger tank." There are videos of real tanks that have been restored. I would hate to even think about what those types of vehicles are worth. Over a million bucks I'd guess...

Here are a couple of pics with humans in them to demonstrate the size of these things.
