is very local to me,  (2 miles)  The good news for this cold war era group build is the outdoor permanent displays  are being delivered this past week for this era.  First is a early, (but updated) AH1 cobra that came in last fall,  this week is a M60A1 MBT and a M109A5 SPG.  These I am capable of photographing in detail if anyone needs the references.  I will probably photograph them anyway, but if you have specific question the prototypes are available from out door angles so long as they can be photographed from the ground.  (no interiors either)

On the property is:

French-Indian war, encampment and blockhouse

American Revolution redoubt

American Civil war winter encampment and battle area

WW1 Allied trench (which I helped build as a volunteer) and German concrete bunker complex

WW2 tar paper building complex with motor pool (shop truck)   there is also a M6 3" antitank gun towed and M18 hellcat,  M4A1 sherman, and GERMAN PAK41/43 AT gun, There is a M4A4 HVSS "easy 8" sherman and a 155mm  (modern) towed gun with in a mile of this museum.

UH1 and AH1 helicopters

M109A5 and M60A1 tanks pair of 105mm towed guns  

There is a lot more in the works,  if you are starting a modeling project of the above and need a different detail shot let me know,  I have easy access to this stuff.   Again,  it is forbidden to enter, open climb on or manipulate anything on the exhibits. But I will do my best.
