Description One of 164 photos I took at Fort Knox on my recent trip. I'm going to post the majority of them on my stock page, but I think I'll make a Tank Stock Package for folks and post the zip here.

Anyways, the story of this shot is that it was a pain to get. I had to hold the camera above my head to get the shot, as the guntube was roughly a foot or two above me. I wasn't sure it made it, but as you can see...it most certainly did.

You can see more of my tank stock photos at my stock page, at . Enjoy!

I had the same idea when I took the shot of the panzer IV but the museum staff was looking strange at me when I tried to climb on the tank so I got down and settle for the shot you fav

There's definitely plenty of images with different angles of armored vehicles to pick from, so hope you don't mind the long wait to download'em.

Just add some cement in your doors and front, maybe add a little to the rear to keep it balanced, strengthen your chassis, and then you'd be set with a real tank!

Minus the working cannon lol. Unless you get a paintball cannon...that would be sweeeet.
