You know what has some decent armor in it is Cross of Iron. I think they show some T34/85's.
Thanx!

You are quite right, those are T-34s mocked up (and I think they did a really good job). If I remember correctly they'd been used in an east bloc film before they made Kelly's Heroes in Yugoslavia (if memory serves).
And yes, Cross of Iron is good. Lots of T-34/85s tearing up a factory (actually a concrete manufacturing plant). The book is far better than the movie, and the original script (of which I have a copy) is better than what was finally shot. I have a copy of Iron Cross in there in my DVD collection right now. Classic.
