It's a beauty - and a beast

A 70-year-old war machine-a combat veteran Sherman Jumbo tank-has just gotten a facelift. The Minnesota Military Museum announced that with the help of the National Guard mechanic shop at Camp Ripley, the tank-one of the remaining eight Sherman Jumbos that still exists-was restored to its original World War II paint job and parts makeup. Coming Sunday (in the Brainerd Dispatch), see how they did it, and what the old war horse looks like on the inside.
