    Good news for Panzer lovers

    I recently mentioned in another thread that a PzKpfw IV and a StuG III had been "restored" in Spain, some years ago, by stripping them of all their original paint (and post war also) and the Pz IV had been painted Panzergrey. Today a friend of mine has sent me some pics of the Pz IV repainted to Dunkelgelb...And it looks really nice (and too new) A new facility has been built to keep all the tanks under cover

    First pics ar prior to the first restoration. I don't have any of it painted panzergrey to compare.

                        I believe they did, but not sure. Did you see the restoring of two StuGs at the Cartagena Military Museum? I'll try to get some pics.

                            Two Stug III were restored in Cartagena a couple of years ago. One was put back into working order and the other, engineless, just as static display. I believe that both came from some army facilities in Segovia. You can find quite some vids at youtube by typing "Stug Cartagena"
