This week, Beau returns to the KV-1S project, shifting focus to the floor repairs after completing the hull sides. With the torsion bars and suspension units finally freed up, it’s time to assess the damage, clean out decades of rust, and prepare for new plate work.
But just as the team wraps up, an unexpected discovery falls out of the hull — a rusted shell casing hidden since WWII. Daz takes a look to help identify it, offering a small glimpse into the KV’s wartime past.
It’s another important step in the long road to restoring this rare Soviet heavy tank here at the Australian Armour & Artillery Museum, where every bolt and relic tells a story.
