How does it manage not to be rusty if it's been in a lake for 56 years?

Re: German Tank found after 62 years

I beleive the Peat may of kept it preserved to some extent.

Just been informed its Not German but Russian, a T34/76 Model 1943 (late) to be exact!:rolleyes:

Obviously captured and marked up. There was loads about this on some of the military modelling forums a while back, its engine was removed, put on a bench stand, dried out and started with only a day or so's work!

Im sure I could Insure one of these if anyone has one and wants a quote.:D
