October 9 2009 at 6:18 AM Don Fogal  (Login shogun66) HyperScale Forums from IP address 71.74.24.240 ...I've noticed on some pictures of M-46s deployed in Korea that there are some hollow tubes stored alog the sides of the tank, on the skirts. What are they? Are they cleaning rods for the gun, or additional armour? Wondering if I want to include them on mine... Thanks in advance...

Later in the war when fixed positions became common you see shots of cammo netted positions (LVTs, tanks and guns).     Respond to this message    (no login) 71.101.160.235 I could not find any in pictures October 10 2009, 7:54 AM  I looked briefly on line at M26 and M46 pics and couldnt find anything... agreed probably stakes for camo netting or something similar...     Respond to this message    Don (no login) 71.74.24.240 Thanks guys...

I may add them on this info, Thanks.     Respond to this message    Current Topic - M-46 Patton question...   << Previous Topic | Next Topic >> Return to Index
