Hello /komrades. To soften the blow of the SC silencer bullshit today, I thought I'd cheer everyone up with pictures from my visit to the Bundeswehr museum in Koblenz in February.
I do apologize for the sometimes poor quality of pictures - it was done on an iPhone as I was traveling light. I'll keep posting and answer some questions in between if anyone has any. I get alot out of this board and it's time to give back.
1/75-ish - test plate just outside the entrance
2/75 - dambuster bombs
3/75 60 cm mortar "Karl"
Rotate the pictures you big dumb dumb
4/75 Rheinmetall data for guns
Sorry I lurk alot, they aren't rotated in my folder - let me look up how.
5/75 Alot of great pieces of field and naval artillery across the 20th century
6/75 deck gun from U-Boat
7/75 5.7cm quick-firing gun from a destroyer
8/75 field guns
9/75 half-track
10/75 one of my employees has a UNIMOG so I took this for him
11/75 flak-track
Fail. 11/75 flak-track
12/75 Seehund midget sub
13/75 15cm secondary gun from Tirpitz
14/75 - engine from Deutchland-class
15/75 breech of 15cm secondary
Taking a break - I'll post more later if there's any interest.
There is interest
Fixed
Beautiful user, you’re doing god’s work
I love half tracks. It’s too bad they don’t do anything particularly well. I wonder if I could put one together to ride around the farm...
Good shit user
16/75 The amount of details that goes into some of these models is amazing. I have a 1/350 Missouri waiting for a day when I have the skill and patience to make it look like pic related.
17/75 - 21cm (I think?) Howitzer. I haven't been able to find which gun needed a dual-axle carriage.
18/75
19/75 - Paris gun
20/75 Gustav
21/75 - 12.8cm Flak 40
22/75 - 8.8cm Flak 37
23/?? BF-109 Instrument Panel, really cool to see since I'm a pilot.
24/?? - Ju-88 and Fi-156 Storch
25/?? - Ju-87 Stuka
Fail
Gib photo
26/?? - 20mm MG
27/?? - I think mountain howitzers and mountain warfare in general is fucking awesome. The fact that each piece breaks down into 100-150kg chunks and placed on pack horses is impressive engineering for that period in time.
28/?? - each individual "chunk"
29/?? - forgot to say this is a 7.5 cm Gebirgsgeschütz 36
30/?? - shell from Bismarck/Tirpitz
31/?? - Hind
32/?? - Mig-21
33/?? - one of the infamous F-104 Starfighters
34/?? - really cool, a T-72 cutaway for mechanic training
35/?? - Leopard Prototype I think? Not for certain, I'll post the display card.
36/?? - Don't have the Display card. But I do have some sort of 60's tank split in half.
37/?? - other side
38/?? - forward-facing angle
very cool
engines are my fetish
39/?? - Versuchsträger 1-2 Tank Destroyer
Dang, they had an entire room full of tank engines on display. Didn't get any pics of those.
40/40 -
>MFW a busty, blonde, blue-eyed German QT3.14 walks into a bar.
OP here, that concludes the heavy equipment portion. There was also a fantastic small arms collection, but sadly I didn't get to take as many pictures there. If this is up tomorrow I'll add to it.
Hope you enjoyed.
nice stuff dude
