I don't have video of the Chieftain as yet, we were so preoccupied last season with getting the LEO 1 moving...at Littlefield's she had sat so long the tranny had condensed and rusted up... so I had to source another unit, pull the engine and tranny out, and replace with a new unit. I will say...

Yep, my Leo 1 is just incredible, the most responsive tank by far, but the T-72M1 is no slouch. Honestly the Chieftain is cool due to its shear size and weight, the ground literally shakes when she moves, but its really kind of a big, slow, behemoth. It sounds cool, but the mechanics are not...

WOW, Carlo, if you ever get a T-80 out, get two, I NEED one for the collection... that and a T-64 for sure! Yes the Uk-59s are incredible firearms... love to make you an owner Artisan!

Hey Mark, Give me a PM or personal email at davebane@frontier.com I may have a BMP for you here in stock... I have 4... Finding a whole powerpack for a BMP is extremely hard, they are very much still frontline vehicles all over the world, and the spares still bring government / military...

Nope, its basically a new engine with 37kms on the clock... The difference is, its a RUSSIAN diesel... they are affectionately called, wet diesels... They like and have always used in their tanks, wide tolerances that allow the oil to lube everything... its considered a consumable, that's why...

PMs are cleared out... ask away!

Nice collection! If you guys ever decide to part with a piece, please let us know!

LEO and Challenger would be fairly problematic. To the best of my knowledge only one or two LEOs were let out... I know one was "loaned" to the Littlefield collection.. and rumor has it that one went to a collection in Jordan. I know there was a trainer or two that made it out, that...

No, those are the "marching fuel drums" - the russians used fuel cans on the back, that could be plumbed in for use, to move the tank long distances. T-55 is awesome... we have an AM2, and a T-54 early, w/o the turret basket... both cool.

Wow, Cool! That was no small feat I'm sure!

Wow, I talked to CSX, Santa Fe, and the owners of the spur line that it would have to go through. If you have better contact info, I'd love to get it.

Not to mention to expensive... rails was RIDICULOUS when we priced it for the T-62 move from the West Coast.

Yeah, mental health and armor is definitely a question that could be raised! Of course not any more of one than when owning a horse or boat! LOL I can't wait to see her and the Chieftain sitting next to each other.

Yep, that's them!

Well, yes, because what most people forget is the transportation, customs and import approval, months of waiting, risk of losing your funds (happened to me 2x now), and risk of seizure, Dept. of Ag. cleaning / fines etc., and the risk that what you bought is incomplete or doesn't run. So, yes...

Actually its not illegal, it just has to be registered as a Destructive Device... it would also be pretty much impossible, as it would require a totally new barrel to be made for it... 125mm is hard to build in budget!! LOL Shipping on a 46 ton, 11 foot wide plus truck wasn't cheap...

Due to popular demand... I threw together a video BijjJ took of me driving her to the building... that engine is incredible! She's a looker too... video is below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBO0tDYlVLk

Hey all! Well after almost 2 years, she's finally home! Czech T-72M1 arrived day before yesterday... beautiful tank, and fantastic shape. This is a mean sounding machine... the supercharger really adds a neat exhaust note! 46 tons, 700+ V12 Diesel horsepower... nothing quite like it. Pics...
