I was surprised they didn't have a safety observer in the commander's hatch of the Jagdpanzer.

Pretty nice mockup other than a running gear.

Indeed!  I went back and binge watched the whole restoration!

So basically an M901 on a M113A3 chassis?

Same purpose, different process.  Norwegian design from what I could find.  Plus it has a coax!

The AAF Tank Museum in Danville, VA, is unfortunately closing its doors, and they're in the process of selling off vehicles and artifacts. Last Saturday they were good enough to let me poke around their room full of manuals. I ended up coming home with 35 kilograms of tank p*rn...

God I love tank manuals. That little lot has me itching to start scanning again.

Spent more than I thought I would, but it was definitely an opportunity.

While not exactly a tank, this video of the M113's daddy contains an Easter egg; a view of a commander's cupola that is closely similar to the M48 Patton.  WARNING: The video opens with 'Fortunate Son'

Great footage of the driver and interior sound while the vehicle was in motion. I'm hoping that at 3:05 when he mentioned they were looking to sell and replace with a UH-1 because there were "...not a lot of tracks in Vietnam that were used effectively..." he was specifically speaking about the M59, or else that seems quite a controversial statement!
