Please note that in the early 00s, the scale model makers volunteered for the Kubinka Tank Museum and painted both Goliaths in historical colors: early German Feldgrau (Gray) and late camouflage.
The current location of these exhibits is Patriot Park after the reorganization of the Kubinka Tank Museum.
