I'm curious what happens now (or has happened?). Does the museum take possession of the vehicles? Do they try and re-sell them? Keep them?

The pieces were on the floor when I visited a year ago. The guides were polite and clear that the vehicles were not genuine wartime examples. Considering all the other priorities in the hangar, I don't expect that these will get much attention for a while.

Seems some at the museum are still quite sour about this. The museum PR guy quite arrogantly told me how complicated international armour purchases are. He wanted to know how my next purchase went. So I told him how my first one went. This is in now way directed to the hard working volunteer group the museum has.

I think your comment on the volunteers at the museum is very well said....I wouldn't be surprised if some volunteers did know about the originality of the vehciles and warned the staff, but were ignored. I know....just speculation, but I have seen this with volunteers at a museum in the past; they were just ignored.

Museums are great and all but personally, I’ve found many a hobbyist to be better informed and more knowledgeable on many fronts. I’ve seen some exceptional restorations that make “museum quality” ones look like crap...
Difference between them and us? We spend our own money, they lobby for theirs.

Just to refresh memories for background and why due diligence is called for when making a costly purchase. What I for the life of me cannot wrap my head around is after dragging Kruse through the courts complaining about "not original" vehicles they turn around and buy a home made tank and a couple of OT810 painted up as Sd.Kfz.251s. |
