I think that is the one in the Australian National War memorial
i doubt it, i think its the one in the german museum
This one actually is in an Australian museum as its the last surviving A7V in existence and it was captured by ANZAC forces at the end of WW1.
In fact this one is A7V #506 "Mephisto"
Was lost at Villers-Bretonneux 04/24/1918, recovered by Australians, and now in Queensland Museum in Brisbane, Australia.
Note this appears to have a different paint job when compared to more modern photos so thus I presume they recently restored or repainted it.
No it isn't.
This is a replica created by the German Panzer museum in Munster. 'Wotan'
I've seen this one in person and it's an extremely detailed replica, but it's not mephisto.
Look at the image of Mephisto that i posted and compare the gun mantlet. Not the same tank.
I stand corrected :P
Panzert is correct, this one is in Münster, been there myself and i regonize the scenory very well.
Munster, not Münster ;)
I remember this from somewhere, I think it was one of Germany's first tanks, it was supposed to be a response against the British Mark V tank during WWI.
Yeah, this is just a replica.
