The Japanese theme suggested that?the mkIV?might have been 'liberated' and ended up at APG. Does anyone know what has happened to the Female mkIV since the transfer of so many?other tanks??Has it been moved, finally being restored from its appaulling state or is it still rotting quietly away? What...

Somewhere before on this now vast database I saw a reference to the date of introduction of the W-R-W horn and cab roof stripes, but can't find it. Can anyone point me in the general direction? Tony
I just finished reading" A Company of Tanks " by Maj. W.H.L. Watson DSO,DCM, ISBN 1-847349-34-X. It was a very interesting read. He not only commanded the gun tanks but the carrier or supply tanks. While a little disappointed they were not gun tanks he talks about how the officers and men? f...

? ? Does anyone have any images of the Russian 152mm Putilov M10 gun? I had thought to write an article for Landships II on this gun since it fits well with the recent article on the Canon de 155 Mle 1877/1914. I can find images of the later M10/30 and M10/34 guns but not of the gun these were based on. Regards...
? Three of a four volume set very detailed info... part 3 seems to be missingMinist?re de la Guerre. R?glement sur le service du chemin de fer ? voie de m 60 ? Cheers
I have a feeling this is old news and has been mentioned on this forum already, but I can't find it and I don't see this gun listed on Landships II either. My apologies offered if necessary. Pit Road appear to have a few different versions of a 1/72 IJA 28cm Howitzer. It seems to come with 4 crew figures, or p...
Hi, Manta Figurines have a very nice pair of crew figures for the FT being released 23/12/13. Price seems on par with other resin figures. You can see them at their website http://www.mantafigurines.com/ ? Paul
Airfix today published its plans for next year, and surprise surprise both the civilian and military versions of the old bus in 1/32 are scheduled for release in 2014. Hopefully the military version will include the figures. I have one made up of the military version and converted others. Now I need r...
I mentioned their impending release some time ago and have now made mine up. I got mine from HLJ in Japan. The Fine Molds kit of the Type 41 comes in two boxings, with the same basic plastic but different shields and with different?gun crews (well, 4 men anyway). A full set of WW2 infantry equipment and pe...

This?French?BL 8-inch Howitzer Marks VI manual I thought pretty interesting, does anyone know anything about the French use or numbers? The Howitzer is also listed in:?Ecole militaire de l'artillerie. Cours d'artillerie. Historique et organisation de l'artillerie : l'artillerie fran?aise...
? Although?it seems unlikely that anyone here has any info on these, I thought I would post the first image to see if someone might have a different take on it than I've developed - from minimal circumstantial evidence.? I suspect each of these to possibly be a one-off, so there may not even be any French...
