When I sent an email to Masterbox regarding future plans for a 1/35th scale Mark I ... here's the reply. Dear Mr. Brunner, We have intentions to release such tank. Firstly, we will see how sales in 1/72 scale will go and then we will take a decision. Yours faithfully, Mary, Sales Manager mb_ltd@ukr....
I think I remember seeing a diagram showing the layout of the rollers on a Mk IV tank as a mix of light and heavy. I have drawing for the light roller in the Bovington Mk IV plans, but not the heavy rollers. Does anybody know what the differences are or have drawings of the heavy rollers they could share with...
This is an interesting photo showing the gun park (Geschutz Park) of the Kgl. Bayer. 1. Fu?artillerie-Regiment.? The reverse of the photo is written, "Geschutz Park auf dem Lagerfeld Juni 83 Ib Fuss Art Regt" = "Gun Park on the training area June 83 1.Bayer Fu?artillerie-Regiment...
In this occasionally interesting but, as is customary, error-strewn doco, there's a strange moment after 18'00". "The American forces, which had begun arriving in France in summer 1917, soon replaced their French helmets with the British version," says the narrator (who appea...
Hello everyone I'm new to the forum and I haven't built a model kit since I was 15 years old and that was 30 years? ago!! Since I have an interest in World War I, I've decided to build some WWI models which brings me to the question of which kit, that is currently available, is the best Renault FT-17 Tank in AE...

Apart from a few tanks and a couple of small Fords there are not many kits for those wanting to model WW1? in 1/35 scale. I normally search using 'WW1' but just tried 'WWI' on ebay and found a few more kits, sadly out of my price range. The French Schneider tank can be found in USA as a resin kit, as can the USA v...
Hi, Not really spectacular but I find it a nice picture. Explanation says it is in 1914 in Rib?mont. Strategical gauge (suppose that means narrow gauge), garded by French engineer troups. DJ
What do you think...? Is this a captured Canon de 155 L Mod?le 1877 in service with the German Fuss-Artillerie?? Back of photo is dated 23 July 1915, possibly at an exercise area near Lille.
Purchased this, and cheated a bit by getting the English version. It's actually translated into American English, which is occasionally a bit slangy for my taste. Was the A7V prototype really taken on "a shake-down run"? The personal and family material to which Ms Zincke obviously had...
Don't think we've had this before. It's an Ebay job. Described as '7 1/2" X 16" Photo of a Mock-up of Famous Liberty Tank of WWI, c1918.'That's all I can tell you. Anyone know what's going on here? ?
I'm on the lookout for photos of the British 6in Gun Mark XIX. I have the article written; just need to populate it with some nice photos, blueprints, etc. Only copyright free ones please: don't want to get Landships into trouble.

Came across this today in a well-known bookshop: "The First World War in 100 Objects; the Story of the Great War Told Through the Objects that Shaped It." Author: Professor Gary Sheffield. Quite by chance, I heard on the radio earlier that today is "Super Thursday" - the day whe...
