MiniatureZone Gallery Archives (2000 - 2006) - Tony Ivey - Schwimmkorper auf 38(t) Praga

This article is one of many articles and gallery contributions from fellow amateur smallscale enthusiasts all over the world that appeared on the old MiniatureZone website during the first six years its existence when there were only a handful of websites dedicated to smallscale models and wargaming. 

If you've been around on the internet since back then, we hope you like the nostalgia, and if you´re a newcomer, hope you enjoy looking too.

MiniatureZone Gallery Archives (2000 - 2006) - Tony Ivey - Schwimmkorper auf 38(t) Praga : 

The floatation device was tested in February 1941 and consisted of a large, boat-like float AP-1, fitted around the tank. Two propellers in the rear were connected to the tank's engine and in calm water the prototype attained speeds of  up to 8 km/hour. The adaptation was rugged enough for ocean use, but it is not known for what operation it was considered. (Source : Schiffer's "Czechoslovak Armored Fighting Vehicles 1918-1948", page 205)
