There will be a WWII reenactment at Dell Wood Park in Lockport, Illinois this Saturday and Sunday.  They will have the Tiger Tank from Saving Private Ryan.   [link]http://lockportwwii.com/[/link] The most important thing they will have in my opinion is the "beer bunker."  I will have to investigate that closely.

You meant, of course, a T-34. Probably a T34-85. Simple typo I'm sure...

 

EDIT: Here is the Reenactors' page for those who want to see more of it. There may be a T-55 conversion somewhere in the UK though.

I never really liked the way the Tiger I looked.  Too many square corners, too heavy, a bit like a moving blockhouse.  Many of the late model Panzer IV's were much more attractive.  But my personal favorite was always the Panther (Panzer V).  Side armor was a little weak, but it was fast and had nice lines, even when covered with anti-magnetic paste.

It was the squarness of it and blockhouse on wheels I kind of liked.

 

It just looked like a massive chunk of dangerous metal.
