Amazing! Why is it called "Neuruppin"?

Thanks Acki! 🙂

Some units of the early West German army named their tanks after garrison towns at first before going back to the WW2 era three digit numbers for identification. Neuruppin is a city in eastern Germany and was the seat of Panzer Regiment 6 of the 3rd Panzer Division before the war.

Thanks Ray! I'm glad you like it! 🙂

PS: To anyone wondering why there's a 1/144 aircraft kit suddenly listed, it's a site bug - I tried to add the Tankograd issue on the M47 to the project, but got this instead. Both happen to have the same ID number, and now I can't remove it... 🙁

Thanks for the information. I was wondering bout the East German name and the West German tank.

Guess that must have been part of that "we represent the ENTIRE Germany" policy.... Certainly no nostalgia for the pre-1945 army...they'd never do that, right? 😛
