Panzer Vor!!! Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hi I see World of Tanks is to support the restoration of the Maus in Kubinka back to a runner As far as I was aware it was a empty shell so could be a big job Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Its a Maus, of course it will be a BIG job! However looks like its not true as this was posted on the Russian version of FB. “Central Museum of Armored Vehicles” of the Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation officially states, that the information of the restoration works on the tank “Maus”, which appeared in various mass media, is not true. It’s a perspective project, which is in the state of negotiations and approval. The Museum staff is outraged by the insolence, ignorance and absolute lack of patriotism of the employees of the aforementioned mass media. The Museum will never prioritize the restoration of the German tank “Maus”, or any foreign tank to any of the Russian military anniversaries, let alone the Day of Victory celebration, which is the most important celebration for us. The restoration of the German tank is not “a great honor for us” as the journalists write, but a simple planned work. Restoration works on this projects, if they happen at all, will be carried out following the order of work. Currently, the Museum, exclusively on its own, restores the legendary Soviet tank T-35 to be ready for the 70th Anniversary of the Great Victory, for which we are rightfully proud. Furthermore, the information about our exclusive partnership with company Wargaming is not true. An “exclusive” partnership with any organization is out of the question, as the Museum is a public institution, that in the past cooperated and always will cooperate with all organizations and institution for the good of our Motherland within the framework of joint projects and programs, aimed at the Museum development, patriotic education and prevention of historical facts falsification. With kind regards Administration of the Museum” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I apologise for posting misleading informationNot your fault Dave, seems to have been a big rumor going around which the Russians have stamped on! Still if they do the T-35 that will be good. Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
