- Due to popular demand (and not enough footage for a Workshop Wednesday!) we present a walking tour of the entire private collection of over 220 tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery peices at the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum.

you guys must have one of the most extensive German WW2 collection anywhere. Thanks to the guys funding all of this, otherwise our German equipment would have been long gone and for not many to see!
It's a bit sad to see all this because you know that you are never going to end up in Australia to see those exhibits yourself
@laurisikio Those of us that live in Australia are pretty happy though. We'll be friendly if you do pop down for a visit.
The size of this collection blows me away.
Popping down to Australia is easier said than done... it's far away from everywhere! Even popping about in Europe feels exhausting and costy
@@laurisikio I hear you. Nothing is cheap & easy these days.
@@OneLeatherBoot would love to visit oz one day! its just not in the cards. its nice to see such a historical collection of vehicles appreciated so much though.
Very interesting, it certainly rivals the Bovington Tank Museum. A suggestion though - if you do another one of these walkrounds is it possible for you to do a close up of the info boards, pause for a few seconds and then carry on. Doing that would allow us to pause the video and read about the exhibits. It may take longer to do the filming but you could split it into two or more videos.
Keep em coming, I look forward to my Wednesday morning fix over a cup of coffee!
I'd even say to go as far as split it into their various categories (German, Soviet, US, Brit, Cold War Soviet, NATO etc) as individual videos.
I’m so impressed the museum has been able to gather so many rare early war tanks especially the Ha Go the T26’s, the pzkfw38t and the short barrel panzer 3 & 4’s and Stugs.
Nazi memorabilia is illegal in most civilized countries yet they let the wealthy collect nazi tanks smh
@@BoleDaPole There is nothing wrong with collecting world war 2 tanks. To obliterate these objects of the past could only lead the mistakes being repeated. It’s funny how many more people have been murdered my communists but you didn’t object to the soviet tanks.
As a kid I had most of those vehicles, thanks to Monogram and Tamiya kits, and seeing the real vehicles all under one roof is just amazing. I bet the smell of the canvas, O.D. paint, rubber, gear grease and oil in that place is seriously wonderful, those old machines just smell damn good, ya know ? What did the 1940s smell like, Dad ? Gear grease and tobacco, son.......
I know that feeling first we started on Airfix then Tamiya ESCI and Italeri now we military scale modellers are truly spoiled with so many excellent brands . This video has inspired me to crack open a box and get building..... tank naturally!
Glad to know you have the mighty Yeramba and Sentinels in your collection
If I ever visit Australia my first place I would goto is ur museum. What an absolutely amazing collection of tanks you guys have and in great condition!
I personally visited a museum in France ( Saumur )(yes I'm french 😆) and that was impressive. But this museum is enormous and very rich in tank diversity, that was amazing. Thanks for the tour.
I've been a couple of times, seen the odd one or two tanks dotted around as I've driven through France too. Not really a tank fan in the true sense, but still very interested. Odd to think how many tanks and guns were in France in ww1 and ww2, now we struggle to see a hand full crammed into a museum these days.
It might only be a non-runner but it has got to be the Jagdpanther - always had a soft-spot for these since first seeing one at the Panzer Museum, Munster in 1984. To see where and how that started as a massive jigsaw to becoming a museum piece is outstanding for all who had a part in getting it to where it is now.
Crazy how Australia has one of the best armor collections, many very well restored or in running order, wow!
That Jagdpanzer IV might be the coolest piece in the museum
Great tour. What a fantastic collection. The Tiger 1 has to be my favourite Tank but, I think the Panther is the greatest Tank ever made. I followed the twin’s restoration on combat dealers. What a fine machine they restored.
Thanks for the tour, quite a collection of old battle iron. As I'm in Oregon, USA and not financially able to travel it was nice see what you have. Y'all have a wonderful holiday season and take care.
Thanks Kurt. We all need our aus armour fix.
The armor and field guns are very impressive, but I think it would really add to the displays to have to have a sample of dummy ammunition along with the armor and the guns.
Thank you for taking us to an amazing tour of Aus Armour Museum !. My favorite vehicle of all would be the Hummel with winterketten fully equipped.
I personally collect WW2 German Panzer track links.The way you showing track links was noteworthy !👍
The amount of tonnage that you have managed to amass in Australia never ceases to amaze me!
Well it kinda helps that us Aussie’s will pinch anything that takes our fancy, and with our dry(ish) climate things take longer to rust away, so they stand a better chance of being rescued
@@twilightroach4274 Ah but you forget, this museum is in the far north, where the answer to the question "how humid is it today?" is only ever answered with "yes".
What a beautiful collection you guys have. And so well cared for. I love the ambition you guys seem to have, you sound apologetic if something can't be made to run. 🙂
Outstanding tour.
All the German WW2 equipment are my favorites.
I would like to see in depth vidoes one each exhibit. Really enjoyed the few episodes you guys did earlier.
Another excellent video. I spent 35 years in the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps and I really appreciate you folks bringing these forgotten treasures back to life. Excellent museum. For me the PZKW 4 and the Panther are my favourites with honourable mention to the JagPanther
What a collection, I hope to get up there one day, I hope you have a weekly pass because it will take more than a day to look at it all.😬. I like the information boards on all exhibits, very important and something many, many museums fail to do. Great video.
Wow, what a gem of an episode you snuck in there! Quite intrigued by the list of the "nearly-runners" and what is left get them over the hump to running order... You never know who will be watching and who-knows-what that would result to find the last bits needed. Plus it's intriguing to see what parts "fall off" vehicles over time...
Almost had a Heart Attack, no Workshop Wednesday. Thank god , i was wrong.
wow! Thanks!!! the best part for me was the wall of tank treads . . .even better would be a chance to get drawings or 3d scans of the track pieces for a project I want to do . . . love to see a Puma in your collection
I just discovered this particular historical tank/war equipment channel the other day, when the Tiger build summary popped up.
GREAT channel!
I just like/admire how everything is stored /housed.
Impressive collection
Of all the museums I can go too or wish could go,you be my first one would love to go to.
Wow I think the Dora shell was what blew me away the most. Great idea this video, on my visit list for sure. :-)
For me, it's the Tiger 1 and Jagdpanther..because I've seen the enormous amount of work put into rebuilding them..nothing short of astounding...
THANK YOU ! Seeing peaks at tie main museum during some build shows, you've just given me the best peak yet . I don't do many comments, but I've been enjoying many of your Wednesdays and this is very appreciated - as is the degree of Excellence displayed by your Restorers. I do have one problem with you though - I've been working on time etc. to visit my friend in Melbourne (we hung out for around 5 years when he lived in Kansas City, Missouri) - and now I need to extend the trip to visit you on the opposite side of Australia. . . . . . L O L !
My grandfather was a plumber. He made and kept the compressed air plumbings in a volfram mine for the tools. The mine sold volfram to Great Britain and Germany. Probably you have armour made with that volfram. My grandfather took a piece of volfram incrustated in quartz home, although he could go to jail, and we still have it. He nearly died of silicoses (quartz dust in the lungs). It was a way of our country to stay out of the war. That and trains filled with food, written on the side "Leftovers from Portugal" while people struggled to get something to eat. A different view of WWII...
What a fantastic historic collection. We'll done. Keep up the great work. Happy Christmas to one and all at the Museum.
Massively impressive. Thank you.
How in the world have you managed to acquire so many tanks? I’m amazed at the size of your collection.
Outstanding collection! The track shoe comparison display IS pretty neat. From the size of a couple of horse shoes to impossible to lift - and so many - in such a short span of time really puts it into perspective.
Outstanding! You're one of best reasons to visit the land down under. Greetings from frozen Poland.
Thankyou Aus Armour Museum for all your hard work
Thanks for the tour. Looking forward to
This is worth a flight to Australia to see!
This was fantastic, thank you!!!
Brilliant! Enjoyed that immensely. Many thanks!
That's an extensive collection of armor. Thanks for sharing here because I'll never get the chance to see them otherwise.
It's amazing that so many variants of vehicles and guns are made all with the same purpose in mind.
Great walk around, thanks 😎
What a great walk about the museum !
Thank you for this walk around.
This is such a fantastic offering, thank you Australia. What a hard working crew to upkeep, maintain and display all of that historical hardware. So very much appreciated.
Thank you!
Your Tiger 1 super cut has just hit 800k views. Congrats that’s awesome
I have to say kirt what a collection of vehicles you have there
I do hope to come and see it in person one day
But being a shed builder all my adult life I am so impressed by your building
What a massive shed you have to keep all these beauties out of the weather 👍👍👍
Fantastic collection!
Thanks AusArmor.
Thank you so much, really really appreciated.
That Stug III A is a rarity. One of only 36 ever built.
Absolutely fantastic
What a beautiful collection
Beautiful collection, just wonderful
A very, very, VERY impressive collection!!! Obviously you have understood the value and importance of keeping the history alive! 👍🏻
Thank-You!
Many thanks!
Call me crazy, but these machines are works of art.
Nice collection you have there, thank you for showing it.
Thanks for making this video, as it is likely the closest I'll ever get to visiting the museum.
I said that about the Tank Museum and Duxford. Got there though.
Excellent presentation, thanks so much
Probably in the top 5 tank museums in the world, a must see a must visit. I would love to know where you got some of the rarities, like the Pz 38T and the Jagdpanzer IV let alone the Hummel!
Awesome collection
Thanks for the tour, Kurt! Ever since discovering the channel I have been waiting for this.
This is a must see.
That is an amazing collection!
i have a dream to own a running panther just because its cool. (no I'm not a woman) i love halls collection and i really want to come out and talk about tanks. i love that y'all care so deeply for them and i like watching your supercuts. i would be impressed if y'all could get the Maus off the russians hands, and/or make it yourself.
Nice production! Impressive collection.
Good narrative and good decision for not having music. 👍👍
Wow it is an amazing collection. Cheers A3
"once we were offered a missile from Bulgaria. So now we have a missile from Bulgaria." The nonchalant delivery of that sentence cracked me up!!
The dulcet tones of Kurt, perfect..
Best tank museum I’ve been to by far
Excellent....Thank you ...
Excellent walk-through -- thank you for sharing a tour of the museum.
Fantastic collection, hope to get down there some day!
Thanks!
DANG! Another wasted 26 minutes glued to the screen. This is an amazing collection. Thank you. New subscriber.
that was awesome!
Good video. Fantastic museum and equipment. Another reason to visit down under.
Awesome tour! Great collection, would love to visit some day if ever make it over from the US. Favorite tank is always the Tiger I. There's just something special about those and following the restoration on here was amazing. Look forward to seeing it as a runner someday in the future.
Awesome museum , thank you Curt for the guided tour, my favorite is the Tiger 1, and the Sherman firefly, thank you for an awesome show, love it.
Great video as always. It makes a good way to start my Wednesday.😎
Really great, compliments!!!!!
That made an excellent diversion from the workshop videos much like the maintenance ones have so keep slotting in these and the short talks. Always little gems of info and i really liked Daryl’s collection being able to sit in such great context. Must be nice to have your stuff alongside the rest of the museum collection 👍🏻
wonderful collection, thank you for the "virtual" visit from Belgium 🤠
Thank you for a wonderful tour of your museum even at a distance of 14,000 km. You are doing a great job! And also thank you Kurt for doing a great promo! ;)
This has quickly become my new favorite channel. I recently got back into scale modeling, especially tanks! It is so interesting seeing the parts that I’ve been working on in small scale being worked on in full scale I can’t say enough this is so cool greetings from the central coast of California.
Absolutely brilliant setup and displays you have there in FNQ. Thank you for preserving history 👍🇦🇺
Thank you for the walk around, it has been a few years since I’ve visited the collection and I’m looking to come again soon.
Look forward to my first Ausarmorfest next year can't wait super excited 😆 😄🇦🇺
Man so much beautifull pieces in the collection. Can i pick 3 favorites? Well 1st JAGDPANTHER, 2 sherman (firefly), 3 su 152. So lovely
Thank You
What is that an M113 or M114 with at first, I thought it resembled an M5 "Stuart" turret, but after watching more of the video I realized it has to be a Saladin turret mounted on it? I believe the Australian Army modified and used a lot of M114s & M113s especially while fighting in South Vietnam/Vietnam. Awesome video of the amazing collection, artifacts, vehicles and facilities along with the presentation of all the equipment. Everything shows the amount of skilled, talented and hardworking mechanics/restorers that have SO much time, energy, blood, sweat and tears invested in this endeavor for current folks and the future generations of people to study, learn from, be educated by and enjoy. Thank you and well done to everyone who makes this possible along with every member of the staff.
I loved seeing the World of Tanks sign hanging on the wall! Watching this makes me feel like you're walking around my garage. It's so neat to be able to see these tanks. Thank you for all that you do!
Thank you very much for sharing, most appreciated. Stay well stay safe.
Thank you
That is a fantastic collection of armour, that shell case is bloody massive! That must have made a hell of a noise. Keep up the fascinating work for our entertainment, it's great that you put all the extra effort into filming your work. Thank you all....
Great video thank you 👍
