Aquino Tank Weekend 2026

[Admiral Beez]

I'm not sure where to post this, but I had a great time at the festival on Saturday. The British-vs-German WW2 and British-vs-Iraqi battle reenactments were amazing. Most fun was the one on one battle between the M60 and Leopard 1, which really showed off the relative speed of the lighter Leopard. I highly recommend anyone visiting the Toronto, Canada area attend this event. When the two Chieftains rolled past (the white one is in Berlin urban camo) the ground shook.

More pics. Never thought I'd ever see a Panzer III, Stug and halftrack operating together. And holly heck the German heavy machine gun was loud!

And the museum located and shipped over the British crews from these exact same AFVs from the Gulf War to have them fight an Iraqi T-55 and BMP.

Nice !
Looks like the Stug is a very good replica, built on the platform of a British FV432 APC (or Abbot SPG, same basic chassis).

You're right.

"The museum has one reproduction Stug III G. It was built on a British FV 432 hull. The original has six road wheels and ours has five. There are only 5 working and 16 known non-operational examples of the Stug III in the world."

Stug III and Friends – The Canadian Tank Museum

The museum recently took possession of three unique new vehicles for our fleet. There are two German Half Tracks and a German Assault gun reproduction ready for you to see. The Sd.Kfz. 251 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251) half-track was a German armored fighting vehicle designed by the Hanomag company...

Quite a few have been done that way, and a couple of Pz IIIs also. Started with the replicas for Band of Brothers.
