Russian T-35 Reproduction

[afvfan]

I just ran across this story and thought I'd pass it on. It's about a museum in Russia that just reproduced a working T-35. Here's the link:

I believe the authentic T-35 at Kubinka is actually in running condition also.  It's worth noting that at the end of the video it parks up alongside a T-28; I understand this is mostly a reproduction although the basic hull is an original one recovered in 2009.

Ah, Kubinka ... now there's a museum I'd love to spend a week at. That trip's at the top of the list if I ever hit the lottery.

I did notice the T-28. I think it's the first time I've seen the two parked side by side. Hadn't realized there was such a difference in size between them.

T-35 from Kubinka is in a running condition. Here is an video where T-35 moving to repairment by itself.
