R-155 photographed in July 24-25th 1943 during tank obstacle testings. SA-kuva 132.732

This T-34 m1942 (with prior registration number R-155) had the quite unusual "laminate" turret. The tank is currently an empty hull, but it seems like all or most of the external bits & pieces are preserved. The tank has been used as a "Soviet" tank in a few films and have now "new" roadwheels and tracks.

The large hinges on the rear deck have been added some time between June 1943 and August 1947 (probably first after the war). The original three hinges were the usual small ones.

The first set of pictures are taken in September 2020 by Mr. Heikki Jäntti at the Finnish Armour Museum in Parola, Finland. Heikki was one of the painters when the tank was repainted.
