BcdsDifficult first start after deep storage, 1944 T-34-85. Will the monster 38 litre V12 diesel roar into life ? make sure you watch the field test video as we have full interior footage showing the racks full of shells and the machine guns still in the turret. Please subscribe as I have more tank videos on the way, you can also see this tank in action at the Capel Military Show.
GfdIt was awesome to hear the engine catch and come to life. The more it was run the smoother and tighter it sounded. I'm no expert but to my ears that sounded great!
HffI think it's awesome that people dedicate so much time and resources to bring these old tanks (trucks and planes, too) back to life. A lot of history here. There is a T-34 on static display at the war museum in Calgary Canada, where I live.
RyytThis engine is the Kharkiv model V-2. It's all-aluminium and DOHC, so pretty damned advanced for the 1940s! This was the best tank of WWII, period.
