We took the T-34-85 out to Midway Village's WWII Days on September 21-22. We had a great time and the T-34 performed flawlessly. While I didn't get many pictures of the exterior, many others did. However, what I was able to get were a couple of pictures through the 85mm sight. I thought you...

While I have worked on a few deuces, I have never personally owned one...until now. Here is my new-to-me M109A4: It was listed as a 1993 with 132 miles and 69 hours. That will change as I bring it almost 100 miles home. The site manager said it needs new batteries, but is good to go...
