Very nice job with the video. I have been a volunteer there for a little over 2 years and enjoyed seeing myself in a couple of your shots. It is a great collection and many modelers come in and take very detailed photos.
Hey there Tom - thanks for watching... and for the cameos! It's been too long since I've made a trip, so I'll have to swing by sooner than later. If I see you I'll be sure to say hey 👍
I have been here twice before and i must say, it it a truly amazing experience! I didn't read a lot of the signs, so i didn't know how many of these were 1 of 1s in the US!
I can’t agree more about The AHM! I’m actually take the opposite approach you did. I’ve been volunteering at this museum for more than a year now, but I’m just coming back to scale modeling after a 55 year hiatus. I’m finding your videos VERY informative and look forward to viewing more.
Oh that's great! Very jealous of all the time you probably get to spend at such an incredible place... maybe I'll bump into you next time I swing by! Happy building & thanks for watching! 👍
I live in New Hampshire and I have been there twice. What you showed was wonderful but I also found WW1 trench display really nice. Enjoy you're modeling videos.
That's great! It's an awesome spot - and totally agree, the trench exhibit is very impressive. I didn't want to film in there too much so folks can experience it for themselves... it's quite an experience. Cheers! 👍
There's a T-34 85 on display in Oshkosh, WI my dude. Also that Panzer I A has some very incorrect fittings on one side. I have to get to this place at some point.
Oh cool! Yeah I just read into it - I guess they're calling this "the only one on display in North America" because the WI one is in storage right now? The Panzer I restoration was just completed by Jacques Littlefield's mechanic (& team), so I'm guessing whatever decisions were made about the fittings have to have some historical grounding. It's an awesome place & totally worth a visit - thanks for watching!
I would love to spend a day there. Not many of the old machines around in this kind of shape. Don't guess they are many around at all really. Great video. Thanks 👍😊
Actually, when The American Heritage Museum opened, all but 3 of the 80+ tanks/armor had been fully restored to running status. It’s really a kick working there.
Great video editing. If you're ever down in Colorado, be sure to visit the National Museum of World War II Aviation. I think you'll love it and be able to make a great video out of it.
Overall very good video. However I'm surprised you didn't film our M1 Abrams tank , SdKz 222 or the last surviving Japanese Ho-Ro SPG. By the way the P-40 has an AVG motor in as well. The Bf 109 started in life as a G-14 but was partially updated to the G-10 standard. It's a bit of a mixed airframe actually. The IS-2 is also a very rare surviving one of the first built early variants with the original KV hull. We have added a few more pieces since the vid like a type VII U-Boat wintergarden and original 1917 Neuiport 28. Also the original Rosie the Rocketeer recon L4 Grasshopper.
Thank you! I'm a museum member & big fan of the place - always a treat to visit. This was one of my first videos here on RUclips & I'm hoping to shoot an updated version with more commentary one of these days. I noticed on your channel that you have a walkaround of the M4A3E8 Korean War paint job - was that you that painted up the tiger face? I was there that day & have a few pictures of the work-in-progress 😁
@@SpruesNBrews Amazing place isn't it ? We hope to have our SBD Dauntless for the Dec 7th anniversary . Rob announced he also acquired a N1K Rex floatplane as well as the 6 or so restorations already going on. To answer your question yes the paint job is mine. I really put it here only as a link for another site. I have a good number of other paint works on the tanks and planes but Kitty is by far the most extravagant. BTW make sure you stop by when we run some of the tanks outside. You can get a first hand view of what real field conditions (dirt, mud, dust)look like on a vehicle. Nothing like the Tamiya catalog pictures for sure!
It really is! And that's great news - I've been looking forward to seeing the SBD! Hoping to attend one of the next tank driving days... I missed the Battle for the Airfield this year, unfortunately.
@@SpruesNBrews some t72 where used in the Iran Iraq war although most of them where t72ms and m1s but its not impossible that they had some Urals in where as well and maybe one of them where captured .
Appreciate the detail shot of the vehicles in the museum. I was wondering if you are on untappd? if so what is your handle there? would like to add you as a friend there
Unless its moved, there is also a T-34/85 at the AAF museum in Danville, VA. They also have one of the few remaining Panzer IV H's. It came from Israel and was used by Syria in the 6 Day war.
You state at the begining of the video that the Panther A is the only one in North America, this is incorrect as there is one at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Ontario
You might want to check on the Bren Gun Carrier and the anti-tank gun. I believe that is the 6 pounder and not the 17 ponder which is much larger. Very enjoyable video as I have never heard of this collection before. Thank you.
The vast majority of the AHM tanks were the best part of the Jacques Littefield collection. (Take a look on RUclips for the numerous videos there.) There were 240 pieces to his collection when he died in 2009.
i was there this month with my sister and her son it was great and wonderful i saw in the World War two a film it shows Hitler our father was in that war, but it got me to thinking to worry and afraid like Germany in the 1930s we too may be face with the same problem here in America. a Donald Trump Dictatorship,
Very impressive collection, beautifully restored vehicles and the attention to details on the displays are fantastic.
I'd love to go here! Thanks for showcasing it man!!
It's an incredible spot! Definitely worth stopping in if you're ever in the area 👍
There is a second T-34/76 on display at the army armor and cavalry collection in GA
Great video!
Thank you!

I'm just getting back into scale modeling at the age of 66 so I know how you feel sir. 👍😊
It's very nice slide show. Also, I enjoyed much. Have good time and stay safe please. Best wishes, NOB

Glad you enjoyed! It's a fantastic museum if you ever get a chance to visit - world class 👍
very interesting video! always loved your insta storys when you were there.
Thank you! And don't worry - I'll be back! More insta stories to come 😁🍻
Not sure where you are located, but the Wright museum in wolfboro,Wolfeboro, is awesome. All their vehicles actually run, even their pershing
In New Hampshire
I've heard good things! And driven by it a few times, but never had a chance to drop by. Will have to add it to the list - thanks!

The 17pdr Antitank gun (British) is in fact a 6pdr AT gun.
Outstanding!!!
Thank you so much!! 🍻

10:33 a t72 ural that's suppressing since that is the first production t72

Thanks! And I'm not on untappd yet - but I really ought to be! I'll be sure to post about it when I finally make an account... good idea! 🍻
Great collection of armour , what of the military trucks
Are they still adding to the collection ?
They are! They're actually supposed to have an SBD Dauntless arriving from the West Coast at some point soon - excited to see it.

You are correct. That is indeed our 6 pounder ATG. Same gun as in the Crocodile
When was the panther captured? Or was it destroyed?
The chieftain has a whole video on it so should check it out
The "conflict" in Vietnam? I don't follow.
