| Yeah this is amazing! It's a late model alright!
Hate to be thinking back to my days at school, but there's a scientific reason that it's preserved so well. Same as these bodies from hundreds of years ago dig up in tibet in really good condition. It's due to to the composition of the mud/peat. It's pretty light in oxygen so the metal doesnt get a chance to rust like it would sitting in the rain, where there's a good mix of water and oxygen, so the mud (particularky in peat bogs and the like) has preservation qualities. I'm a huge fan of the T34 and it's amazing that such a great specimen has been found in reasonable complete/good condition. |
