The 'reinforcements' you refer to, inside the roof, are actually the 'tracks' for the manual loading cranes that lifted the massive rocket ammunition from the racks and into the breach of the launcher - with the assistance of a loading trestle [missing].

I'm not seeing any cup holders..😀

I have also been there back in 1986. Then I went to the German Armor school as a guest of them while I was an instructor on the M1/M1A1 tank in Vilseck, Germany. Very nice museum indeed.

Andy your channel keeps getting better and better! Now you're giving the Chieftain a run for his money!

I never knew that the Casemate was just sat on top of the hull and bolted into place. those gaps were huge. What a 'Lash up' affair it was. Thanks for posting.

Wow Andy, what a great opportunity! Thanks for sharing it with us - a fantastic video as always :)

What an awesome opportunity. Seeing this stuff in person, when you spend so many hours looking at them as scale models, gives you such an appreciation for how menacing they would be, heading in your direction. Not to mention, loads of admiration, for these soldiers ( regardless of the country ), and the life they lived and/or lost, while occupying these cramped quarters

This is a great museum. I spent so much money at the gift shop. lol. The city is cool too. The street names are like Zeppelin Strasse, Bismarck Strasse.

Awesome and the 2nd one was in Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland they might of moved it to Fort Knoxs into there museum

Thanks Andy I love your passion.. cheers from down under 👍🇳🇿

You forgot the "Oh no, the tank's on fire" bit.

Awesome Andy. Been waiting for this.

Oh great. I have around 40 car models to build and now thanks to you I want to build some armor! Thanks a lot Andy!

Outstanding video and presentation. I'm glad you had the opertunity to both see and go inside this very rare tiger.

Could this be a clue that you are planning a 1/16 scale version? Please say YES!

Awesome Andy. Looks a great deal larger in 1 to 1 scale. Massive. Thanks for sharing with us.

Can't wait to see the diorama you make for this one

Andy thats totally bad ass!!! Wow!! So cool !!! Excellence!!! Andy you out did yourself with this view and video really incredible!!

The gun was originally for harbour defence from submarine attacks

Thanks Andy.. nice weld and flame-cut reference for a future project

Thanks,Andy!

Thank you, Andy. very interesting to watch.

Thanks Andy!

thanks for for sharing what a great experience so much info nice one Andy Steve

VERY cool Andy. Thanks!

Great video Andy welljell

Thank you Andy 👍

Hi Andy, welcome in Lower Saxony ! 👋😁..have a nice time in “DasPanzermuseum“ !!! .kind regards ! 👍😎

I liked seeing the still photos. Very helpful.

Nice video Good exhaust colour reference 👍

Thanks for the walk-around and reference photos, just so many detailing ideas! Any plans for the museum to get this thing running?

Many Thanks for sharing Andy. 👍👍👏👏👏👏

Thanks for sharing

Tanks for the video.

Very interesting video. Thank you.

i had the privilege of going inside this vehicle about 35yrs or so ago, just looking at the photos' i took, most of the marks are still the same, back then it did not have fenders or side skirts, i took a roll of 24 photos inside but only a few turned out, no digital pic's back then :( i am pretty sure it was in Koblenz museum back then as i was able to go inside a couple of tanks there but not in Munster

I've been at Munster Panzermuseum a few years back and I must say it is a great museum, I highly recommend it if you are in the vicinity

Nice 1:1 scale Sturmtiger. Must have gone through some plastic cement putting that thing together

It needed thick armor to protect from return fire, this tank gave away it's position easily and was to slow to run for cover.

3:28 thats what the PanzerWaffe crewmen referred to as "Zee Shower Facilities/Hand Washing Station"....;)

Your timing with this video was perfect for me Andy, I'm currently building one. Do you know if it was actually found in the field in this colour, or was that just done by the museum? In some places you can see the three tone camouflage underneath, however I'm curious to know weather it was repainted in just dunklegelb when it was converted to a sturm.

Nice video tks

why do I get the feeling that this will be the next AHHQ 1/16th scale kit

Love to see the other tanks there. They have a model of this one?

It's not the 1/16 Sherman but ok, I'll watch

We NEED a 1/16 Sturm! 😉👍🏻🙏🏻

Thanks for sharing. I prefer Tamiya kits, having someone say this is better than Tamiya makes it all the more interesting to build it. I'm on a tight budget I hope it's decently price that I can afford it. Can't wait when you tell us it's on the shelf. I used to use only Model Master's paint was quite disappointed when it was discontinued. I now use Tamiya paints.

This things weren't that good, it was designed to destroy buildings but could barely hit them, really crapy accuracy. Edit: wow, that gap is insane, I would not wana fight inside it :)

1/16 scale sturmtiger with interior made by andy hobby headquarters incoming?

Very cool! 🙂

Jesus, that must have been a wild experience inside there when it fired. Amazed that shoddy bolt-on superstructure didn't just lift right off. 😆

How can you drive a tank if you can’t see outside

Nice! I've been to the Panzer Museum, how did you get permission to go on / in the vehicles? After hours?

Awesomeness..😉👍

The range of these is quite short and they were to attack at close range in urban area

Had to do a double take to make sure this wasn't a chieftain video

Inside the Andys hatch?

"crew knocked out"

Cannot imagine being inside one of these during the war shells rounds nades coming at you everywhere Or even a ball gun turret sitting inside one of those

Wow what a beast

Ok, now let’s get busy reproducing this in 1/16 scale!!!!

Have to admit it's kind of heartbreaking to look at details that simply cannot be accurately reproduced in scale models. The torch cuts on the frontal armor, easy. The welds not so much. On models that have any at all they look like nicely "stacked nickels" but here look more like a tangle of spaghetti. And those circular locking pins welded in are never seen molded in kits afaik, and trying to scratch them...

the gun was a depth charge launcher to take out submarines

There are a few Munsters in northern Germany. .... Where is this museum now?

Hey Andy! When are the 1/16 jeeps shipping out!

good video. You should check out The Chieftain KZfaq videos. Goes way more in depth of tanks and its history

Awesome! How did they handle that huge ammunition?

👍👏

I didn't find the German cats to be as big in real life as I expected them to be. But then again, I'm used to big modern tanks, not Shermans and Cromwells.

1:15 that's left

Haha, BiG cAnNoN gO bOoM

No.....HE wrote that....The Creature...Mozart (paraphrasing from memory🤣)

I don't get why they gave it this massive armor plate at the front. Complete waste of steel.

Maybe your next model kit will be 1/16th Sturmröse tiger. Takom might like the idea.

And while you were there you did not notice one single time how Germans pronounce _Sturmtiger_ ?

Nazi Germany were so ahead of there time when it came to tanks and weapons

Thanks for the close up of the sturmtiger, I am a bit disappointed in your amount of knowledge you had regarding the vehicle but I will assume that you didnt know in advance that you would have the opportunity to make a video on this particular vehicle. Also, the primary function of a modeller is to mimic reality. Thus you could be a modeller without really knowing the subject technically. Unfortunately modellers tend to be technically minded and knowing functions and features can help to make more realistic models. As a show and tell video goes, this one tends more towards the showing. I could spot most of your mistakes and omission fortunately so that I could get some value from the footage. I just wonder what more you could have taken footage of had you not been overwhelmed by the interior like you were.

love the tracks! checkout my videos if you get the chance. wish i was there!
