Mock UP Tigers

[mightymouse]

Does anyone know the fate of the mock up tiger tanks used in the film Kelly's Heroes?

i think they were scraped at the end of filming they were not as robust as the private ryan tigers

It would not have been difficult to "restore" the Kelly's Heroes Tiger T-34/85s to their orginal state. One source I came across stated that these vehicles were restored and returned to JNA reserves after being demobilized by the film production. If that happened the vehicles were lost in the civil war or scraped in the aftermath of the conflict.

However, there is a urban legend out there that at least one of the "Tigers" were used in combat.
