Actually, the restoration experts who recently analyzed the SU-100 hull
believe that there is very little, if any, of the original wood
remaining in the hull. Years of paintball goo, dirt and grime have
essentially eaten away and replaced the wood fibers with a homogeneous
mass of crud. Amazingly, the hull is now stronger than when it first
arrived on the battlefield. Ah, the wonders of nature.
PS. All Tri-Pact tanks have wooden dashboards and accent trim on the
inside salvaged from the hulls of the Tiger, Panzer IV and KV-1 as part
of the Tri-Pact - Making a Greener Future campaign.

Thank God that our hobby still has two real tanks with
WOODEN hulls - the fearsome Cromwell and the
soon-to-be rewired SU-100.
